Make packing part of the delivery plan.
Pallet packing connects finished units with pallets, packing cards and deliveries — from the factory’s packing area to dispatch.
Keep visibility as units are packed
Finished units need more than production completion. They also need to be gathered into the agreed delivery. Pallet packing links units to their orders and deliveries.
The packing team assigns units to pallets, and packing cards show what is on each pallet. This gives the packing area a shared basis for assembling a delivery and following which units belong together.
Give the packing area a clear basis
Packing is an operation within the factory’s overall flow. Protection, wrapping and placement on shipping racks follow production and precede dispatch.
A packing card links pallet contents to the relevant units and orders, making the handover from production to dispatch easier to review.
- Units
The manufactured contents of orders.
- Pallets and packing cards
Grouping and visibility of contents.
- Delivery
Connection to the planned shipment.
Concept illustration
Pack around the delivery
A sales order can be manufactured and delivered in stages. Packing therefore relates to the delivery order and the contents due to leave in that particular shipment.
This preserves visibility when production groups work across orders and dispatch later gathers units by destination and delivery agreement.

Packing covers pallets and shipping racks. We work through packing arrangements and the needs of your products as part of the agreed scope.
The packing optimisation method has yet to be defined. Your packing arrangements and products help determine where planning assistance or a packing algorithm could add value.
