Screen Printing - June/July 2020 - 33
As a side note, in talking with
multiple print shops, they've all
expressed that finding and keeping quality people in this position is difficult as the majority
of employees at the end of the
dryer feel they're underpaid for
the work they do. These employees do a lot of thankless tasks
and are the first to be blamed if
something goes wrong. Often,
this is not due to a fault in their
work, but a flaw in the shop's workflow.
BOXING AND SHIPPING
So, the job is now complete and garment counts are good. How do we create an error-proof series of steps to
send the boxes out to our customers?
The following steps create not only a
clear chain of understanding, but also a
premier presentation for your customer.
While boxing the garments, if you're
going to ship the job, it's essential to
know the box dimensions and record the
weight of the box. Many shops go the
extra step of creating labels for each box
used. These labels indicate the garment
type, garment size, and quantity within
that box, as well as how many boxes are
in the order. When it comes time to ship
the job, or for the customer to pick it up,
this information is essential in confirming
with your customer they're receiving everything they ordered. For label creation,
we want to have a computer hooked up
to two printers, one for creating shipping
labels and the other for box labels. I look
at this as a three-step process:
* Give each box a sequential number.
Write this number small and in a location you will cover up in a later step.
* If using an electronic workflow or
a paper trail, write or type the box
contents onto each box. If shipping,
also record the weight of the box. If
using irregular boxes, make sure to
get the box dimensions.
* Go to your label template and enter in
garment type, garment size, and quantity of each size. It's pretty easy to use
a template to make this go quickly. If
shipping, also create shipping labels.
If shipping different weights and box
sizes, pair up each shipping label with
the contents label and box number.
This makes it very easy to track down
a box if it ends up missing.
Of course, you don't need to go the
extra step of recording the contents
of each box, but it does assist in creating a clear paper trail and a quick visual
understanding of what's available and
in each box. If a box goes missing, you
know exactly what was in it and can
clearly communicate that with both the
customer and the insurance company.
