Why this matters more than it seems
In B2B production, the final stage often fails on “details”: labels, sets, packing, documentation, mixed lots. Defining it upfront avoids delays and returns.
What to define (minimum viable)
1) Packaging
- Type (pouch, box, case, protective wrap)
- Branded (if applicable) or neutral packaging
- Protection requirements (stones, delicate surfaces)
2) Labelling
- SKU, size, material, colour, lot
- Barcode / QR (if applicable)
- Language / destination market requirements (if applicable)
3) Sets and composition
- What each unit includes (piece + leaflet + certificate + etc.)
- How units are grouped (packs, displays)
4) Final control before packing
- Final aesthetic check (per agreed standard)
- Functional check (clasps, movement)
- Matching checks for sets (if applicable)
Logistics (high level)
- Delivery address and receiving conditions
- Receiving windows
- Documentation requirements (if applicable)
- Priorities: cost vs speed vs security
