Packaging Guidelines for Matalan Suppliers
Company Profile
Best Packaging – 2 Key Points
• Fewest possible folds– Ensures minimum processing and maximum presentation
• Choice of correct sized cartons– Reduces garment movement and the number of folds required
…excessive creasing, costs and delays!
Incorrect packaging techniques lead to….
• Carton sizes: too big = too much movement
• Garment folds: less folds = less creases
Best Packaging – 2 Key Points
Bagging Methods
• Single Garments – liner only (no poly bags)e.g. Solid size cartons
• Ratio Packs – over bag per ratio sale packe.g. Sale pack ratios of 12 & 13
Carton Qty No of Sales Packs26 2 1 2 3 3 2 1 136 3 1 1 2 3 2 2 1
Size Ratio Per Over Bag
Labelling Methods• Bag labels – not required
• Box end labels – continue to order M700 Flexipack labels from Braiform
Box end label M700
Do not order new labels if you have ordered pack labels for POs amended from Hanging to Boxed. Use the old labels! Apply them to the outer carton, e.g. 2 for 2 packs of 13
Hangers in CartonsIf Purchase Order states hangers, ALWAYS attach hanger plaques and either…
… lay hangers on top of cardboard divider ‐ if
garments are not hung
Top and tail garments in carton ‐ if
garments are already hung

4 Simple Packaging Rules• Fewest possible folds – to minimise creasing
• No individual bags – to minimise waste and cost
• Use correct sized cartons – to minimise folds and movement
• Vertical creases (on seams where possible) are better than horizontal creases – if folding can’t be avoided
