The carton is left open and pushed down the conveyor line to the packer. Pick and Pack items need to have a carton made and the items are placed into the carton. The carton is left unsealed.

II. Elemental Breakdown – Packing

B. The packer takes the order and scans bar code on the order. The item or items in the lead carton are scanned against the order.

C. When the carton is closed, the UCC128 carton label is printed out and placed on the carton based upon the packing specs for Kohl’s Dot Com.

D. The carton is sealed with clear plastic tape. Any additional cartons that go with the same order are packed and sealed as well.

If the order is verified to be a ground shipment, the label will be deleted and the carton will be processed again.
