Match packages to the approved project scope
Packing preparation starts with the approved drawing and component schedule. Doors, panels, pilasters and hardware kits should be identifiable against the project reference without requiring the receiving team to guess from appearance.
Agree on project, floor, room or cubicle labels when the order covers multiple areas. The appropriate labeling detail depends on the installation sequence and should be written into the order requirements.
Confirm packing method before dispatch
Ask the supplier to define how finished faces, edges and hardware are separated and protected. Confirm pallet or crate expectations, lifting restrictions and whether packages are suitable for the planned freight route. Packaging claims should be checked against actual order documentation and dispatch records.
Special destination, handling or fumigation requirements are shipment-specific. Confirm them with the freight forwarder and relevant import professionals before packing is finalized.
Use a clear packing list
The packing list should connect package identifiers with component descriptions and quantities. Hardware boxes and small accessories need particular attention because they can be difficult to reconcile after packages are distributed around a site.
Commercial documents, shipping documents and physical labels should use consistent project references. Any difference should be resolved before cargo release.
- Package number and project reference
- Component description and quantity
- Hardware kit or accessory identification
- Gross and net weight where required
- Package dimensions where required
Plan the receiving inspection
The receiving team should inspect package count and visible condition before unpacking. Record delivery notes, photograph damage and keep labels and packaging until the contents are reconciled. Follow the carrier's notification procedure when damage is identified.
After opening, compare the delivered components and hardware with the packing list and approved schedule. Separate transport damage, quantity discrepancies and site-handling damage so each issue can be addressed correctly.
Connect delivery to installation
Store panels flat or as directed by the project documentation, in a protected area suitable for the material and finish. Organize packages according to the installation sequence and keep small hardware controlled.
Before installation, verify site dimensions and interfaces again. Packaging and factory drawings support delivery coordination, but installers must still confirm that the built condition matches the approved information.
