Bulk Candy Orders: Write a Packing and Handover Brief

A wholesale or event order needs a clear specification for quantity, product identity and packing. The normal shop display is only one part of that process.
Start with the decision
Confirm the exact sweets, units, delivery date and destination. Separate an estimate from an accepted order and make substitutions subject to explicit agreement, especially where product information or pack sizes differ.
Work through the details
Plan receiving, storage, order assembly and finished-order holding. Keep labels and traceability with the stock; do not use an unlabelled mixed container simply because the order is larger than usual.


A planning example
An event order needs a mixture of small bags and larger cartons. Confirm the unit of each line before packing begins. Use a separate completed-order location so a bag intended for collection cannot be returned to the shop shelf or counted as available walk-in stock.
Check it in the shop
Check the packed quantity and handling instructions before handover. Record who accepted the order and any shortage or damage. If large orders recur, size a dedicated packing surface from the real carton and bag dimensions.
