1.4 Package goods Ensure goods and any certification are suitably packaged for the type of good and so that no damage will occur. Anti-static bags and boxes are available, along with bubble wrap and boxes etc.
Packaging should be in very good condition, especially if going to a client. Ensure Metron branded tape is used and any pre-existing, non Metron, stickers or writing are covered or removed from the box.
If any of the items are classed as dangerous goods, separate, as more specific packaging will be required. This must be completed by a qualified person.
Do not close the packaging at this point as paperwork is still required to be added. Use Metron branded tape to seal the package once a copy of the delivery note (with supporting documents) from section 1.5 and any return documentation required, from section 1.6 have been added.
Take weights and dims of the package(s) for the delivery note.
Photographs of the packaging are also to be taken as proof of the good condition the items have left the building in.
Stickers: Mark the item as 'Fragile' if it contains delicate items or 'Heavy', if the item weights more than 10kg (as per royal mail guidelines) cover in Metron branded tape as required (especially if the box selected for packing is being reused).
Client Card Box Packaging Stickers: If the item has been identified as requiring Metron and client branding you should refer to the sticker guidance note outlining the positioning of stickers.
Client stickers can be found in the packing area. If there are no pre-printed stickers available, electronic versions of the stickers can be printed from Share. Discuss this with the Operations Admin assistant.
Blank Card Description stickers can NOT be pre-printed as the information should not be hand-written, but printed when filled with the appropriate information.
