Keep a mixed-capacity USB order identifiable through packing and delivery

Specify the split in writing

A combined quantity does not explain how many drives belong to each capacity tier. Write the required capacity, quantity and relevant configuration as separate order lines. Yousan’s mixed-capacity wooden-drive guide highlights the practical risk: once identical housings are decorated and boxed, their storage differences may no longer be visible.

Confirm whether the proposed model and order arrangement support the requested split. Do not assume one supplier’s published minimum quantities or available tiers apply to another quotation.

Design the identification before packing

Agree how each tier will be recognised on the drive, individual package and outer carton. Printed capacity text, an edition reference or a packing label can provide a clear check. A different wood shade or casing colour may help, but it should not be the only way to distinguish the tiers.

Review the identification on the actual sample. Check that it is legible, does not conflict with the logo and remains visible when the unit is packed.

Keep verification tied to each tier

Specify the inspection and capacity-verification requirements for every configuration. Different capacities may use different internal arrangements, so do not infer that one tested sample establishes the characteristics of the entire mixed order. Agree how test records and production references will identify the units checked.

Reconcile the packing list

Ask for quantities by capacity and by carton, with each group clearly separated during packing. If different destinations receive different tiers, make that allocation explicit before dispatch. Check the delivered labels and quantities against the agreed packing list before distributing the units.

The useful result is a traceable order in which someone receiving a carton can identify what is inside without plugging in every drive. It also gives the team a clearer starting point if a discrepancy needs investigation.
