Packing inputs
What materials, quantities and protection are proposed per unit or bundle? Request a marked sample pack when a change affects identification or handling.
PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS
Bridgestone Packaging and Evidence
Set packaging and materials requirements early enough to compare the proposed shipment methods.
Ask for a measurable packing proposal
Ask suppliers to separate the tire specification from the packing specification. Record bundle dimensions, protection against rubbing and the destination handling constraints so a change can be evaluated before booking.
Three questions to put in the RFQ
Load planning
Can mixed sizes be grouped without hiding labels or separating a matched lot? Compare pack dimensions before accepting container utilization estimates.
Check before release
Which marks, bundle counts and protective materials will the inspector verify? Confirm the plan against the buyer’s receiving requirements.
Stage gates for a packing decision
The bars show the sequence of a proposed review.
