Use-case checklist

What to include in a packaging materials purchase order

Packaging errors stop shipments and damage products. A PO should state internal dimensions, material grade, print revision, artwork approval, pack quantity, tolerances, and delivery releases so the supplier produces the correct item.

  • buyer, supplier, PO, and specification reference
  • dimensions, material, grade, print, and revision
  • quantity, pack, pallet, and tolerance
  • proof, sample, quality, and acceptance requirements
  • release schedule, freight, overruns, payment, and invoices

Attach the specification or drawing, reference artwork revision, state samples or proofs required, quantity tolerance, pack and pallet configuration, delivery releases, freight, overrun policy, and invoice milestones.

When this document is the right choice

Use this purchase order to authorize a purchase before a supplier fulfills it. A purchase order comes from the buyer and authorizes an order. The supplier later sends an invoice that references the PO number for matching and payment.
