Export Packing, Labels, and Shipment Preparation
C&S can support project-based packing requirements for custom flag orders, including carton marks, barcode labels, private label packing, marketplace labels, SKU separation, customer warehouse labels, and pallet packing when required.
Carton Marks
Outer carton marks can be arranged according to order details, buyer instructions, and shipment requirements.
Barcode Labels
Barcode labels and product labels can be applied when required for retail, warehouse, or distribution projects.
Private Label Packing
Private label packing can be arranged for OEM projects, retail programs, and repeat custom flag orders.
Marketplace Labels
Marketplace or customer warehouse labels can be prepared according to confirmed label files and packing instructions.
SKU Separation
Mixed designs, sizes, or product types can be separated by SKU, carton, or packing instruction when required.
Pallet Packing
Pallet packing can be discussed for bulk shipments, warehouse delivery, or forwarder handling requirements.
For example, standard packing for 3×5 FT printed flags may be arranged as 1 piece per PP bag and 100 pieces per carton. Carton size and weight can be confirmed according to the final product specification and packing method.

Split Shipping and Consolidated Shipment Support
For larger or mixed-product projects, split shipment and consolidated shipment can be discussed before production. This may be useful for seasonal flag programs, private label orders, multi-SKU projects, or orders involving different packing instructions.
C&S can also support mixed-style packing, SKU-based carton separation, customer warehouse labels, and shipment preparation according to confirmed project requirements.
Customs, Duties, and Export Delivery Notes
C&S does not guarantee a fixed arrival date because international shipping may be affected by customs clearance, port schedules, courier capacity, weather, seasonal demand, and destination-market procedures.
Import duties, local taxes, customs inspection, and destination clearance responsibilities depend on the importer arrangement and the agreed trade term. C&S can provide standard export documents and coordinate shipment according to confirmed order requirements.
