Prepare six private-label workstreams
Reference baseline
List the approved source number, product family, application context, destination market and expected volume for every request line.
Marking and identity
Define the brand, buyer part number, required on-product marking and any variable identity that must remain linked to the physical reference.
Package format
Record bag, sleeve, box or other format, dimensions, material requirements, product protection and the applicable artwork or dieline filename.
Market-facing data
Assign language, buyer and source identifiers, barcode data, origin requirement and any destination-specific fields to an accountable owner.
Carton and handling
State unit count, master-carton marking, dimensions or weight inputs when required, assortment rules and delivery-label expectations.
Version and change control
Name the artwork and sample approvers, required evidence, approved filenames and how later product or packaging changes must be reviewed.
Assign every decision to an approval record
Source reference, application, destination, brand and buyer part number.
Reference list revision and the person who accepted each line.
Required text, logo use, location, color and variable reference data.
Marked sample or controlled visual tied to the exact product reference.
Format, dimensions, artwork, protection and package-level product identity.
Approved dieline, artwork revision and representative packed sample.
Language, buyer data, origin requirement, barcode type, value and registered owner.
Validated data file and named buyer approval; values are not inferred.
Pack quantity, assortment rule, carton marking and delivery-label needs.
Approved carton layout and packing instruction for the request line.
Changes that require notice, resampling or new artwork approval.
Current baseline, superseded files, approval date and responsible owners.
Sequence the handoff before sample release
- Freeze a representative reference list and mark every unresolved application.
- Confirm which marking, packaging and label elements are technically feasible per reference.
- Identify who supplies and approves brand assets, translations, barcode values and destination requirements.
- Use revisioned filenames for dielines, artwork, data sheets and approval records.
- Approve a representative product and package sample against written acceptance criteria.
- Retain the approved baseline for repeat orders and future change review.
Send a version-controlled private-label brief
Use one row per product reference. Leave unknown values visible, attach the named artwork or evidence files and keep the buyer owner beside each barcode, sample and approval decision.
The buyer remains responsible for brand rights, barcode ownership and destination-market requirements. DNK confirms product, marking, packaging and evidence feasibility only against the actual RFQ.
