01Create the variant master
List internal SKU, supplier style, color name and code, primary size system, printed size, target market, GTIN where assigned and purchase-order reference. Give each sellable style-color-size combination a distinct controlled row.
02Check physical shoe markings
Inspect left and right size, style or factory markings where specified. Confirm legibility, location, durability and pair match. Do not approve a box from artwork alone when the physical shoes carry different or missing identity information.
03Control size presentation
Make the primary size system unmistakable. If multiple conversions appear, use the approved model table and preserve the source version. Avoid a bare number that buyers or warehouse staff could interpret as another regional system.
04Reconcile descriptive fields
Match product name, model, color, quantity, country-of-origin statement and responsible-business information to approved records and applicable market requirements. Material wording must come from reviewed declarations, not from visual guesses about the shoe.
05Verify barcode content
Confirm the GTIN or internal barcode belongs to the exact variant and packaging level. Scan a production-size print, compare encoded and human-readable data and check quiet zones, contrast, orientation and placement under the selected barcode specification.
06Inspect label and box execution
Check label stock, print sharpness, adhesion, position and resistance to ordinary packing handling. Review box dimensions, color, artwork version, ventilation or other design features when specified, tissue and included documents.
07Run first-box and carton reconciliation
Open a first finished box for each representative variant and match pair, stuffing, accessories and label. Then compare box assortment with master-carton marks, packing list and order ratio. Hold shipment when one level disagrees.
