4.2 General Guidelines – Outer Packaging

4.3 General Guidelines - Primary Packaging

Secondary & tertiary packaging must be robust enough for the goods to be fully protected between the supplier and Euro Car Parts Ltd distribution centre; picking, handling and receipt in the Euro Car Parts Ltd distribution centre and ultimately delivery to Euro Car Parts Ltd customers or our Trade Outlets, but should be kept to a minimum. Plastic moulded storage tote boxes are in use within the T2 distribution centre, supporting the automated storage and movement of products through our automated DC, secondary packaging should be designed fit firmly inside these totes (where the size and weight of individuals products allows). We also invite our UK-based suppliers to utilise these totes to store our products (one SKU per tote) before delivery to T2. Your Product Manager or Buyer should be the first point of contact for discussions regarding this. • Packaging must be of sufficient design, size and strength to protect the product throughout the supply chain (including transportation) • Packaging must be made of post-consumer recycled materials where practical and cost effective • Packaging must be designed so that it can be easily recycled i.e., that is ideally made from one material. If more than one material is used, they must not be glued or stapled together • Display all necessary labels and barcodes as required • Secondary and tertiary packaging must not have loose fill materials (e.g. polystyrene chips) • Strapping must only be used to stabilise pallet loads, not to wrap individual cartons • This packaging must be the correct size for the product and not have excessive voids added to both this NB. The use of tertiary packaging often indicates excessive packaging, so should be avoided. Tote internal dimensions are as follows: 56.9cm x 36.9cm x 30cm, maximum weight of 25kg 4.2.1 Presentation
