Before production
Check that specifications, quantities and artwork versions agree.
BATCH & WHOLESALE ORDERSMore moving parts.
More moving parts.
One clearer plan.
A larger order can involve several items, design versions and packaging requirements. Build an order schedule that makes those differences explicit.
A WORKABLE ORDER SCHEDULE
Keep variety from becoming confusion.
| Moving part | Make it explicit | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Item mix | A line for each item and variation | Avoids treating different requirements as one batch |
| Personalization | Artwork reference and quantities per design | Connects production work to the intended outcome |
| Packaging | Presentation and protection requirements | Separates packing decisions from product decisions |
| Delivery | Destination and target timing | Sets the context for shipment planning |
| Approval | Sample and order version | Records what was agreed before production |
THE CHECKPOINTS THAT MATTER
Scale the coordination, too.
During the work
Agree milestones and when a change requires a new approval.
Before dispatch
Review item matching, packing and the required delivery information.
