Units per carton
Pack density
Compare the same quantity of complete kits while keeping lot labels and seal protection visible.
Responsible sourcing
JTEKT Koyo responsible procurement
Ask suppliers and logistics partners for comparable packaging and shipment evidence, then agree what the buyer will track for the order.
When to collect packaging and freight data
Set a baseline
Record order lines, material protection needs and pack count before asking suppliers for weight and volume estimates.
Confirm how the part will be packed
Ask the supplier to document carton dimensions, labels and protective material with the sample. Confirm the bearing or hub stays protected against impact and moisture.
Check the actual shipment
Review packing list quantities, measured gross weights and carton count. If freight emissions are in scope, ask the forwarder to state route, mode and method.
Three fields for comparing pack options

Gross weight
Ask whether weight comes from a sample carton, a calculation or the loaded shipment record.
Cubic metres
Freight volume
