Which trade terms do you ship on? Copy link
EXW, FOB, or DDP. Tell us the destination and which term you want, and the quote uses that term. Name it on export packing.
Can the goods ship flat? Copy link
When the structure allows it, yes. Many modular and panel items ship flat or nested, which cuts carton volume. Tell us the destination with the sample so the pack is proposed before bulk. See export packing.
What goes on the export carton? Copy link
Carton marks, barcodes, and retail inserts for the destination you name with the sample. They are agreed before the cartons are closed. Plan them on export packing.
How do you pack for export or FBA? Copy link
Wrap, moisture control, and a stronger master carton, matched to retail, wholesale, or FBA. Labels and carton marks are confirmed before bulk. For FBA, fix the selling unit while it is still a sample. Details are on export packing.
When does flat-pack actually save freight? Copy link
When the structure can go flat or nested. The saving depends on the SKU and the freight mode, so ask for a packing plan with the sample. A rigid house or a tall post will not always fold. See export packing.
When are barcodes and carton marks confirmed? Copy link
With the sample, before bulk is cut. Marks, barcodes, and any retail insert are applied for the destination you name. A barcode that arrives after final inspection means a relabel. See export packing.
How should an FBA shipment be planned? Copy link
Decide the selling unit, the barcode, and the carton count while the piece is still a sample. Petaful then packs to that plan instead of relabeling after FQC. See export packing.
What is the master carton? Copy link
The outer carton that holds the selling units for freight. Strength, marks, and piece count are set with the sample. See export packing.
Where is export packing done? Copy link
On the same factory floor as the die-cut and the print. Carton marks, barcodes, and retail inserts are part of the order, so a standard export pack does not need a second packing vendor. The steps are on export packing.
Can pieces ship nested instead of flat? Copy link
Yes, when the shape nests cleanly. Nesting is often the better freight save for lounges and houses that will not fold flat. Ask for both options with the sample on export packing.
