Bolts, nuts and washers may be supplied in different sizes and finishes within the same order. Packaging risk is not limited to carton damage: a wrong kit, missing count or mixed components can delay an assembly line.
Lock the kit contents to the part code and count
List every part code, dimension, finish and quantity in the kit specification. Separate pieces into bags or compartments to help reduce spillage and mixing; include a legible contents list and lot information on the pack.
Where counts are checked manually, define when a second check or weighing method is used. Keep naming consistent between work instructions and purchasing codes; distinguish similar-looking parts with labels and colour cues.
Choose inner packs separately from the shipper and tape
Choose bags, small boxes or compartmented packs based on sharp edges, any oil residue and how the customer uses the kit. Trial the pack to ensure heavy metal parts do not press directly into a thin carton wall and inner packs can be handled safely when opened.
Outer carton tape closes the flap joint; it does not automatically seal inner bags or keep parts separated. Trial tape for carton weight and board surface. Printed tape may identify the shipper or kit type where useful.
Set up shipment and reorder traceability
Show kit code, count, lot and order reference clearly on the carton label. If several kits share a pallet, preserve separation on outer cartons and make sure pallet labels do not obscure carton barcodes.
When a shortage, return or mix-up is reported, trace the kit specification, packing station and carton label through one record. Repeat count and carton-closure checks on the first lot after a revision.

Frequently asked questions
Can bolt kits be shipped in one bag?
Decide based on the risk of count or part mixing; different part codes can be separated in individual bags or compartments.
Can printed carton tape replace the kit code?
No. Printing may support identification, but a carton label with part code, count and lot should still be used.
