What to Confirm About Shower Tray Packaging Before a Project Order

Packaging is part of the shower tray project specification. If the product, quantity, destination and handling conditions are not defined together, a quotation may leave important packing and labelling questions unresolved.

1. Start with the product and quantity mix

List each model, size, shape and finish included in the order. If the shipment is mixed, show the proposed quantity for each item instead of using one total number. Identify which products are approved and which are still under review.

For repeat orders, state the expected order pattern without presenting it as a guaranteed forecast. A supplier needs to know whether the packaging is for a single project, showroom stock, a trial order or a repeat range.

2. State the destination and handling route

Provide the destination country, delivery point and any known handling constraints. Note whether the goods will move through a warehouse, a project site, a distributor network or another route before installation.

The same product may require different labels, documents or handling instructions depending on the destination and the people who receive it. Confirm the information that must be visible on the outer package and on the product identification.

3. Define product and carton identification

List the information your receiving team needs to identify the product quickly: model, size, finish, quantity, purchase order, project reference, barcode and destination mark.

For private-label orders, separate logo, carton artwork, instruction sheet and product-label requirements. Send artwork or examples only after the supplier confirms the selected product and packaging scope.

4. Discuss protection and inspection points

Identify which surfaces, edges, corners and fittings need protection during handling. Agree how the receiving team should check the shipment, including outer package condition, model identity, visible damage, quantity and missing documents or accessories.

5. Clarify mixed loads and project sequencing

If several products are shipped together, state the intended loading sequence and project phase. Identify which products must arrive together and which can be delivered later.

Do not assume that a mixed shipment or special pallet arrangement is available for every configuration. Ask the supplier to review the actual product mix, destination and packaging request.

6. Confirm documents and approval samples

List the documents that must travel with the product or be available before dispatch. Depending on the project, this may include a packing list, product identification, installation information, technical drawing, packaging artwork or applicable technical documents.

If a packaging sample, product sample or carton approval is required, define what must be checked and who gives final approval. Sample arrangements and associated costs must be confirmed for the specific request.
