Dear Sirs, Re: Packing for T-shirts Thank you for your letter concerning the packing of our products. Please follow the instructions in this letter for the packing of the captioned goods. Please pack the T-shirts with simple individual wrapping and stack in two columns to fit into cartons with 100 pieces in each. It would be appreciated if you could seal and strap the cartons for extra strength and it is also necessary to line each carton with waterproof material to protect the goods from rain or moisture damage. It would be ideal if you could put four cartons into one crate for extra protection. The use of crates will also allow the port to use slings for the loading and unloading, which will help protect the products. Since hooks might damage the clothes inside the carton boxes, it is advisable that you put the sign “USE NO HOOKS” outside the package for the attention of the stevedores. Other marks should include our company’s abbreviation, quantities in each carton, and the number and total number of cartons for the whole consignment. We do not require specific designs for the inner packing since these products will be sold as no-frill economic merchandise only. We hope these packing requirements can be met and await your early shipment. Yours faithfully,
