What Is Pick and Pack Fulfillment?

Pick and pack fulfillment is a two-step process that begins when a business receives customer orders.

Step 1: In the “pick” stage, a warehouse worker locates the products for multiple orders, scanning each barcode and placing items into a cart. Once all items are collected, the cart is moved to the packing station.

Step 2: In the “pack” stage, a packer scans and verifies each order, then packages the items appropriately. This typically involves adding protective materials—like bubble wrap or packing peanuts—securing the parcel, and attaching the shipping label. The completed package is then ready for shipment.

Prepare to Scale During High-Volume Periods

Error Reduction: Automated barcode checks reduce mistakes, which are more common in manual or non-integrated methods.
Scalability: Handles high-volume order surges efficiently by combining processes, unlike traditional methods that separate picking and packing, causing bottlenecks.
Faster Turnaround: Picking and packing in two steps enables quicker fulfillment compared to a single picker that does all steps or chaotic handoffs.

Yes, product lookups in Finale track the additional identifiers associated with a product, such as the merchant SKU on an Amazon listing or the barcode on a label. You may have several SKUs associated with one product from different suppliers or selling channels but Finale can consolidate them into one so the picker always knows which is correct for the order to be fulfilled.

For quality control, some companies still scan every item as they pack the orders from the packing table. Other companies that are more concerned about efficiency choose the scanner option called "scan packed orders" to record the orders as fully packed as they pack them just by scanning the order ID instead of scanning every item (i.e., fewer scans required).
