Product-level packing
- Polybag or woven bag: thickness and print, if any. Bags should have the suffocation warning your retailer requires.
- Vacuum packing: allowed or not, and the maximum compression time, since long compression can leave the fill slow to recover.
- Inserts: care card, size chart, or brand card.
- Hang tag or sticker with barcode, if the buyer requires one.
Labels
- Fiber content: the fibers and their percentages, as the destination market requires.
- Country of origin marking in the form required for import.
- Care instructions: symbols and words in English.
- Importer or brand name and address as required.
- Any stuffed-article or bedding label required by the state of sale. Check state rules with a qualified adviser; do not rely on the supplier for this.
Labeling rules differ between product types and between states. We do not give legal advice, and we recommend a compliance review before you print labels for a new product.
Carton-level
- Carton dimensions and gross weight per carton.
- Units per carton and carton mark text.
- Shipping mark: your PO number, model, size, and color.
- Fragile or this-side-up marks if needed.
- Carton strength rating suited to the route, especially for sea freight with humidity.
Approval
Ask for a dieline or a photo of every printed item before production. Check spelling, wording, sizes, and barcodes. Record the approval in writing. After production, check a sample of finished cartons against the approved images.
