Packaging (Definition of packaging material)

The packaging regulations which are arranged between customer and vendor, are recorded in the tab “Packaging” (definition of packaging material) . For example, the following definition of packaging material:

• 8 small load carrier (SLC) with the capacity of 20 pieces per SLC
• 1 pallet
• 1 lid

This definition of packaging material is defined as follows:

You begin with the smallest unit (the unit in which the to be packed item is located).
Generally only two layers are defined (first layer “single”, second layer “master”).
