Plan how the order will be identified and grouped
The right number of garments is not enough if a team, store or event receives the wrong size mix. Send the packing groups and identification requirements with the order brief so we can assess them before production is complete.

Three things to agree before packing
- 01
The final order list
Confirm the quantities by model, colour and size, and name the approved number list if the garments are numbered. Any update has to appear in both the production information and the packing groups.
- 02
Identification and presentation
Send the label text, the product references and the package or carton identification you need. If you have an example of your brand presentation, include it and mark what is required and what is a preference. Special packaging is confirmed for the order.
- 03
Destination information
Give the delivery country and the date you need the goods. Garment production, packing and transport are planned separately, so agree the transport arrangements rather than assume they are included.
Build the packing plan from the order list
The order and the packing instructions should use the same model, colour and size references. Give the quantity for each group, such as a club squad or a store, and make the group totals add up to the order total so that no separate count contradicts it.
If numbers are required, keep each number linked to the right garment and size. Jerseys and shorts can have different size breakdowns, so record each piece separately. If you want a particular packing arrangement, such as packing by size, say so, because the arrangement has to be confirmed for the order.
Questions and answers
What packing details should we include in a sportswear order?
A packing brief for a sportswear order gives the packing groups, label text, product references, carton identification and destination, together with the product and quantities. It should use the same model, colour and size references as the order list, with group totals that add up to the order total. Barcodes or special packaging have to be agreed, and we confirm the packing plan before production.
