For curtain distributors, shipment release is not only a quality decision. It is also a warehouse receiving decision. Before balance payment or pickup, buyers should see carton marks, barcode labels, packing photos, carton count, gross weight, CBM, and final documents that match the SKU table.
Distributor curtain orders should be released only after the carton evidence matches the commercial SKU table, private-label files, warehouse receiving needs, packing list, and freight data.
Carton evidence is useful only when it can be matched to the buyer's SKU table. Each photo or packing line should show the product code, color, size, heading, pack unit, barcode, carton number, and quantity basis. If the supplier uses internal item codes, ask for a cross-reference before shipment release.
For first wholesale orders, tie the evidence request back to the pre-deposit curtain order checklist so labels, carton marks, payment milestones, and shipment release terms are agreed before production starts.
| Evidence | What it proves | Buyer risk if missing |
|---|---|---|
| Inner pack photos | Correct fold, polybag, insert card, label, barcode, and pack unit. | Warehouse opens cartons to identify goods or finds wrong retail packs. |
| Carton mark photos | SKU, color, size, quantity, carton number, destination, and private-label wording. | Receiving team cannot sort by channel, store, project, or customer order. |
| Carton data | Carton count, L x W x H, gross weight, net weight, and packed CBM. | Forwarder quote, LCL charges, or container plan may be wrong. |
| Final documents | Packing list, commercial invoice, inspection summary, and shipment handover terms. | Customs, receiving, and balance-payment records do not match. |
Distributor programs often use private labels, barcodes, insert cards, and carton marks across several channels. A correct carton label with a wrong barcode is still a release problem. Compare the printed barcode, SKU name, color name, size, and pack unit against the buyer's latest file.
When the program uses brand packaging, route artwork and barcode control through the private label curtain manufacturing page so launch files and reorder files remain aligned.
Carton photos should be paired with measured carton data. Distributors need carton count, dimensions, gross weight, and CBM before final freight booking, warehouse receiving, and landed-cost review. Use the bulk curtain shipping estimator to check whether final cartons still fit the planned LCL, 20GP, or 40HQ route.
A mixed curtain order can include different sizes, headings, fabrics, colors, and retail packs. Ask the supplier to group carton evidence by SKU and shipment sequence instead of sending one loose folder of photos. For order planning, use the mixed-SKU MOQ and lead-time planning page before finalizing the SKU depth.
