RETAIL-READY PACKING SOLUTION

Prepare Bags for Retail Shelves, Warehouses and Export Cartons

After the last bag is sewn, it still has to be received, sorted, scanned, shelved and shipped. Polybags, hangtags, barcode labels, color stickers and carton marks are what carry it through each of those hands — KSSIA prepares them according to your provided packing requirements, confirmed before bulk shipment.

PACKING IS PART OF THE ORDER

A Good Bag Can Still Get Stuck at Receiving

A container arrives at the warehouse. If the barcode label scans wrong, the carton mark doesn’t say what’s inside, or three colors are mixed with no SKU stickers to separate them, the goods sit on the dock while someone relabels by hand — and the retailer charges back the delay. None of this is a bag defect. It is packing information that was never agreed: which polybag, which hangtag, which EAN, what packing ratio per carton, which mark on which carton face.

That is why we treat packing as a section of the order sheet, not a final-week question. Sales channel, label files, polybag type, inner and master carton plan, and shipping marks are settled together with the product — and where your retailer or warehouse has its own guide, packing can be discussed and prepared based on that guide before bulk production starts.

Built for the Receiving Dock

Carton marks, packing ratio and a matching packing list let warehouse staff book goods in without opening cartons to guess.

Scannable From Day One

Barcode labels are placed where scanners expect them, using the EAN/UPC files you provide — no relabeling at destination.

Colors That Sort Themselves

Color stickers and a clear mixed-color packing ratio mean one carton can hold an assortment without becoming a lucky dip.

Shelf-Ready on Arrival

Hangtags attached, polybags chosen for presentation, labels visible — the bag goes from carton to shelf without a prep station.

PACKING OPTIONS

Eight Packing Elements, From Polybag to Master Carton

A packing spec is assembled from these eight elements. Your sales channel decides which ones your order needs — and we confirm each before bulk shipment.

01

Clear Polybag

The baseline protective layer: a self-seal clear polybag with suffocation warning print where required. Keeps dust, moisture and handling marks off the bag between factory and customer — and prevents returns caused by scuffed goods that were never defective.

Baseline protection

Warning print

Self-seal closure

02

Printed Polybag

A polybag carrying your logo, product information or brand artwork. Useful for e-commerce and brand programs where the polybag is the first thing the end customer sees — it turns a protective layer into presentation without adding a box.

Brand presentation

E-commerce ready

Artwork on bag

03

Hangtag

Card tag with product name, brand and price field, attached by string, safety pin or plastic tab. The element that makes a bag shelf-ready — without it, retail staff create their own tagging, and your presentation is whatever they improvise.

Price field

Attachment options

04

Barcode / SKU Label

EAN or UPC label printed and applied at an agreed position, using files provided by the buyer. The single highest-stakes packing element: a wrong or missing barcode stops goods at receiving faster than any quality issue.

Scans at receiving

Buyer-provided files

Agreed position

05

Color Sticker

A small colored or coded sticker on polybag and carton identifying colorway or size. Cheap insurance against the most common warehouse complaint on assorted orders: nobody can tell which bag is which without opening every polybag.

Colorway ID

SKU separation

Sorting speed

06

Inner Carton

Smaller cartons grouping a fixed quantity or assortment inside the master carton. Useful when your customers reorder in small multiples — a distributor can pick one inner carton instead of repacking loose pieces.

Fixed multiples

Pick-friendly

Protects assortments

07

Master Export Carton

The export carton sized and strength-rated for the packed quantity, with agreed dimensions and gross weight. Carton size drives container loading and freight cost — oversized or underfilled cartons quietly ship air across the ocean.

Export grade

Sized to load

Freight-aware

08

Mixed-Color / Mixed-Style Packing

One carton holding an agreed assortment — say 2 black, 2 navy, 1 red per carton — with the packing ratio printed on the mark. Lets smaller retail points receive a full range without ordering a carton of each color.

Agreed ratio

Range per carton

Small-store friendly

PACKING SPEC DETAILS

Six Packing Details That Get Decided in Writing

Each of these is a line on the packing spec we confirm with you — small decisions that determine whether the shipment flows or gets opened, questioned and relabeled.

Polybag Size and Warning Print

Polybag sized to the folded bag, with suffocation warning text and hole requirements where your destination market expects them — confirmed per market, not assumed.

Hangtag Material and Attachment Method

Card weight, finish and whether the tag hangs by string, safety pin or plastic tab — attachment method affects both shelf look and how fast packing lines run.

Barcode File and Label Position

Barcode and label files should be provided by the buyer when required; we confirm print size, placement on polybag or hangtag, and scan-test position before bulk packing.

Color Sticker and SKU Separation

Sticker color coding per colorway and size, applied consistently on polybag and carton, so one glance separates SKUs at the warehouse shelf.

Carton Mark Layout

Front mark and side mark content — item, quantity, color ratio, carton number, gross/net weight, measurements — laid out to your shipping mark format or our standard export layout.

Packing Ratio and Carton Quantity

Pieces per inner carton, inner cartons per master, and the total carton count — fixed before production so the packing list, the marks and the physical cartons all tell the same story.

PACKING BY CHANNEL

Six Shipping Situations, Six Packing Setups

The same bag packs differently depending on where it is going. These are the setups we prepare most often.

Supermarket and Chain Store Programs

Hangtags with price fields, barcode labels at the scan position, and carton marks formatted so distribution centers can cross-dock without opening — prepared according to your provided packing requirements.

Distributor Warehouse Orders

Inner cartons in fixed multiples with clear SKU stickers, so warehouse picking works by carton instead of by piece counting.

Private Label Retail Collections

Printed polybags, branded hangtags and consistent label placement across every style — the collection arrives looking like one brand, not one factory.

E-commerce Ready Bag Sets

Individually polybagged with warning print, barcode visible through the bag, ready for marketplace fulfillment shelves without repacking.

Promotional Campaign Packing

Lean packing for cost-sensitive volume: clear polybags, bulk cartons, simple marks — protection without paying for presentation nobody will see.

Mixed-Color Wholesale Shipments

Agreed color ratios per carton with the assortment printed on the mark, letting your smaller customers receive a full range in a single carton.

SCOPING THE PACKING

Six Inputs That Set Your Packing Level

Packing has levels, and each level costs money and labor. These six inputs decide where your order should sit — and where spending more saves more.

FACTOR

WHAT WE CHECK

Sales channel

Retail shelf, distributor warehouse, e-commerce fulfillment or giveaway — the destination defines which packing elements are mandatory and which are waste.

Retail or warehouse requirement

Whether your retailer or warehouse has a receiving guide — where one exists, packing can be discussed and prepared based on that guide rather than generic practice.

Barcode and SKU system

Whether EAN/UPC codes exist for each colorway and size, who supplies the files, and where labels must sit to scan at the destination.

Packing ratio

Solid color cartons or mixed assortments, pieces per inner, inners per master — the ratio that matches how your customers actually buy.

Carton size and weight

Carton dimensions and gross weight against handling limits and container loading — the quiet decision behind your freight bill.

Cost and labor impact

Each added element — printed polybag, hangtag, stickers, inner cartons — adds packing labor and material cost; we show the per-piece impact so the level is a choice, not a surprise.

WHO NEEDS PACKING PLANNED

Six Buyers Whose Goods Move Through Other People's Hands

Packing matters most when someone who never saw your order — a dock worker, a picker, a shelf stocker — has to handle it correctly.

Retailers & Supermarkets

Goods that scan, sort and shelve on arrival, with hangtags and labels prepared according to your provided packing requirements.

Wholesalers & Distributors

Inner-carton multiples and SKU stickers that match how your warehouse picks and how your customers reorder.

Private Label Brands

Printed polybags and branded hangtags that keep the unboxing consistent with the brand you built on the bag itself.

Trading Companies & Sourcing Agents

Packing specs and carton mark formats documented per client, so each consignment lands the way that client’s warehouse expects.

Promotional Buyers

Protective packing held to the cost floor — clear polybags and bulk cartons that defend the goods without inflating a giveaway budget.

E-commerce / Marketplace Sellers

Fulfillment-ready units: individual polybags, visible barcodes and warning print, shipped ready for the platform’s receiving rules.

PACKING WORKFLOW

Five Steps From Packing Requirement to Sealed Cartons

Packing runs as its own track alongside production — requirements first, files next, setup agreed, then checked before anything is sealed.

01

Share Packing Requirement

Sales channel, retailer or warehouse guide if available, and any packing rules your destination enforces.

02

Confirm Label and Barcode Files

You supply barcode, hangtag and label artwork where required; we confirm sizes, positions and print method against them.

03

Plan Polybag and Carton Setup

Polybag type, packing ratio, inner and master carton plan, and carton mark layout — written into the packing spec.

04

Check Packing Sample or Packing Photos

A packed example is photographed or sent for review, so polybag, tags, labels and marks are verified before mass packing.

05

Pack and Mark Cartons Before Shipment

Bulk goods are packed to the spec, cartons marked and counted against the packing list, ready for the forwarder.

PACKING FAQ

Packing Questions Buyers Ask Before Shipment

Can you prepare retail-ready packing?

Yes — polybags, hangtags, barcode labels, color stickers, inner cartons and marked master cartons are prepared according to your provided packing requirements, and the full setup is agreed in a written packing spec before bulk production.

Can you add barcode labels and hangtags?

Yes. Barcode labels are printed and applied at agreed positions using the EAN/UPC files you supply, and hangtags are produced from your artwork and attached by string, safety pin or plastic tab as specified.

Can you follow my retailer's packing guide?

Where your retailer or warehouse provides a packing or receiving guide, the packing setup can be discussed and prepared based on that guide. Send it with your inquiry — specific points are confirmed item by item rather than assumed.

Can you pack mixed colors or mixed styles in one carton?

Yes — mixed-color and mixed-style packing runs on an agreed ratio per carton, with the assortment printed on the carton mark and color stickers separating SKUs inside, so the carton contents are clear without opening polybags.

Who provides the barcode and label files?

Barcode and label files should be provided by the buyer when required, since codes belong to your SKU system. We confirm print dimensions, placement and scanning position from your files before packing begins.

Can packing details be checked before shipment?

Yes — a packed example is reviewed through packing photos or a physical packing sample before cartons are sealed, and the carton count is reconciled against the packing list before handover to your forwarder.
