Shipment preparation

Eibach packaging review

Compare carton configurations for the same order before asking the selected supplier to confirm packing and transit protection.

Current pack

Start with the outside carton dimensions, units per carton and the packaging protection in the supplier's current proposal.

Proposed pack

Enter the alternate configuration using the same order quantity. Check identification and segregation for each size before switching.

Compare estimated outer carton volume

The calculation rounds carton counts up, then multiplies by each carton’s outside dimensions. The estimate covers one SKU and excludes pallets, stacking limits and mixed-carton arrangements.

Current pack
Proposed pack
Enter both configurations to compare carton counts and volume.

Illustrative packaging decisions

Keep ring sizes separate

If two hub rings share an outer diameter, verify that inner packs show both diameters. Check the separation after a sample pack is handled.

Protect coated clip weights

Check whether clips can rub against coated surfaces when carton orientation changes. Review the divider and carton gross weight with the supplier.

Reconcile valve kit counts

Match stems, seals, nuts and caps to the agreed kit count. Keep partial cartons visible in the packing list.

Pack review

Compare protection and carton counts together

Send the current and proposed pack along with the parts and quantities. The supplier confirms pack construction and the buyer approves the change.

  • Identify the SKU and carton count per size.
  • Include outside dimensions and gross weight.
  • Describe how the pack separates parts and preserves lot identification.
