Shipping and Dispatch: Which Items Belong in the Warehouse?

Many warehouse areas are directly connected to shipping. If cartons, labels, document pouches, tape, stretch film, and strapping are readily available, shipments can be prepared faster, and bottlenecks avoided.

Typical Items in the Dispatch Area

• Cartons and shipping bags
• Shipping labels and address labels
• Document pouches and delivery note pouches
• Tape, packing tape, and dispensers
• Stretch film and pallet wrap
• Strapping and accessories
• Void fill, packing paper, and cushioning

Why Standards are Important

If shipping materials have to be searched for or ordered individually each time, unnecessary process costs arise. A fixed core shipping assortment ensures that frequently needed items are available and employees can work faster.
