Use dunnage to fill voids; every carton includes a packing slip.

Full procedure

  1. 1Review the Packing Standards standard on the department portal before you begin.
  2. 2Confirm you have the required access, PPE, or tooling for the task.
  3. 3Use dunnage to fill voids; every carton includes a packing slip.
  4. 4Complete each step in sequence — do not skip or reorder.
  5. 5Record completion in the system of record (log, ticket, or checklist).
  6. 6Escalate any deviation from the standard through the escalation path.
  7. 7Debrief the team lead at handoff on anything unusual.

Common mistakes & exceptions

  • Skipping the WMS/system logging step — every action must have a system record.
  • Not photographing exceptions before escalating.
  • Assuming verbal approval is enough — always capture the ticket or form ID.
