Private Label Equestrian Labels & Packaging Checklist

Define product identifiers before designing labels

Create a mapping between the PoloSolo reference and your own product name or SKU. Include the colour, fit and size label for each variation. For riding breeches, keep adult and junior styles distinct; for riding gloves, state that a retail unit is a pair if that is the agreed packing unit. A shared logo should not make two different products look identical in the receiving record.

If your retail system needs a barcode, provide the approved code and say which variation it identifies. Ask how the code will be reproduced and checked on the chosen label or pack. Do not use a decorative barcode or a copied code from another product as a placeholder in an approved proof. Keep undecided fields visibly pending until the buyer supplies the correct data.

Separate brand, size and care-label content

List each label separately: brand label, size identification, hang tag, care or composition text, and any other agreed information. Specify the position, dimensions, material or finish you want to discuss. Identify which elements are printed together and which are separate pieces. Ask whether each requested label is available for the selected reference and how it affects the quotation.

The buyer should supply or review the required wording for the intended sales market. Product composition, care instructions and any claims need the confirmed product information; they should not be copied from a similar garment or inferred from a picture. Agree who provides and verifies the final text and any required translation. This planning checklist does not determine the legal labelling requirements for a country.

Specify individual packs and cartons

Describe what belongs in one retail pack. A glove pair, a garment and a combined product set need different pack descriptions. For custom riding gloves retail packaging, state how the two gloves are kept together, where the size and code appear and what insert or hang tag is required. If you want a set, identify every component and ask for its separate packing proposal.

For cartons, agree whether products are packed by single variation or in a mixed assortment. Request the units per carton, carton numbering, dimensions, gross weight and a variation breakdown. Tell the team which markings your receiving staff need. Retail packaging and transport protection are separate requirements; approval of one should not be taken as approval of the other.

• Retail unit, pair or agreed set contents
• Individual pack format and closure
• Label, barcode and size visibility
• Carton assortment and quantity breakdown
• Outer carton marks and numbering
• Packed dimensions, weights and receiving reference

Approve the packing reference with the product

Compare the label proof, physical sample where agreed, product specification and proposed packing list. Check spelling, colour names, size labels, code mapping and quantities. Use a clear version name for the approved artwork and packing instructions. A visually correct logo does not settle an incorrect SKU or a missing size label.

When the specification changes, review the labels and packing records that depend on it. A changed material may require the approved product text to be reviewed; a changed size run may alter the label quantities and carton mix. Include the final packing scope in the manual quotation and approval record so both sides know what the order includes.
