FAQ
Questions buyers often ask
How should a master-carton packing plan be made?
Build the plan from finished-pack dimensions, protection, orientation, units per carton, gross weight, labels and receiving limits.
What should be written in the specification?
At minimum, define Packing method, Master-carton plan, Protection requirement, Delivery plan, then link quantity, sample, timing, inspection and the approved revision.
Is a physical sample needed?
A decision involving structure, material, colour, finish, assembly or use performance normally needs a physical sample matched to that question; a screen proof cannot approve everything.
Can the previous standard be reused for a repeat order?
Reuse a controlled standard only when files, material, structure, supply chain and use conditions remain unchanged. Record every change and decide whether resampling or reapproval is required.
