Packing and sorting support for B2B shipments in Tokyo
For trade shipments that go to many stores or buyers, we sort by destination and pack to your spec as a contracted task at a fixed price.
Start from the destination list
B2B work is organised around who receives what. The cleanest brief is a simple table: destination, product code, quantity per carton, number of cartons, and any special note. From that, our supervisor lays out the floor into one zone per destination, so cartons are placed where they will be collected, not shuffled again later. If your list is still being finalised, we begin with the destinations that are certain and add the rest by message.
Pack specifications that the team can follow
Say how a carton should be packed: maximum items, orientation, filler, divider, whether the contents are shown or hidden, and where the label goes. A photographed sample carton is best. Our team packs a first carton for your approval by message, then repeats it exactly. When the specification differs by buyer, we keep each version on a separate card at the zone, so one buyer’s rule is never applied to another’s carton.
Mixed cartons and split lots
Mixed cartons, where several products share a box, are where mistakes come from, and split lots, where one product is divided across destinations, come second. For both, the supervisor sets up a counting method before packing begins, such as counting out in groups per carton and checking the remainder against the total. We report the final tally per destination, so you can match it to your shipping paperwork before anything leaves.
Labels and cartons that carry a destination
Labels are supplied by you or printed by you. We apply them to the position you specify and check that the label on the carton matches the destination zone in which it stands. A carton in the wrong zone with the right label is still a wrong carton, so the supervisor makes a final walk through every zone and compares labels to the list before the report is sent.
How a contracted task works in this case
The scope, the quantity per destination, the deadline and the quality standard come from you. Our supervisor directs the team, answers for the result and is the person you speak to. Your staff do not instruct individual members of our team, and we do not work under your direction. We price the whole batch or the agreed period as a fixed amount, confirmed by message before we start, so the cost does not depend on how the day unfolds.
Handling peaks without changing your own set-up
A seasonal order, a new store opening or a promotion can multiply the number of cartons for a week. Rather than rearranging your own team, you can hand the surge to us as a defined batch. The quote states the volumes, the deadline and the team we plan to use. If the volume grows after the quote, we agree the revised price by message before taking on the extra, and we tell you if the deadline is at risk.
Staging cartons for collection
Once cartons are packed and labelled, they need to stand where the carrier or your own driver will collect them. We stage them by destination in the area you point out, keep aisles and exits clear, and leave the collection list with the supervisor. We do not drive or arrange transport, so the collection itself stays with you or your carrier. If a collection time changes, tell us by message and the supervisor adjusts the staging order so that the first pickup is at the front.
What the report contains
The report arrives by message when the batch is complete. It lists each destination with the carton count, shows photos of the staged zones and a few sample cartons, and notes any exception: a short count, a damaged item, an unlabelled carton or an instruction we could not follow. Because the report follows the same table as your brief, a quick comparison tells you whether the batch matches the order, and the 24-hour correction window starts from that report.
What goes wrong in B2B packing, and how we reduce it
Typical problems are a wrong label, a missing item, a carton packed to last season’s spec, or two destinations merged by mistake. We reduce them by laying out zones before packing, by packing a sample first, by keeping specifications at each zone, and by a final check against your list. We do not promise that errors can never occur. We do promise to report what we find and to correct anything reported within 24 hours.
What we do not take on
We do not operate forklifts or heavy machinery, we do not drive or arrange transport and delivery, and we do not handle hazardous or temperature-controlled goods. Food production or work that needs a food-handling or other licence is outside our scope, as are regulated pharmaceuticals. Night or heavy-manual shifts happen only by prior agreement. When a batch contains something we cannot handle, we separate it and tell you rather than guess.
Areas, safety rules and contact
We work in Tokyo’s 23 wards and in Chiba, including Noda, Funabashi, Kashiwa and Yachiyo, Saitama, including Kasukabe, Kanagawa, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma.

Frequently asked questions
Can you pack to a different spec for each buyer?
Yes. We keep each buyer’s specification at its own zone and pack a sample for your approval first.
Do you check the final tally against our paperwork?
Yes. The supervisor reports the count per destination so that you can match it to your shipping documents before anything leaves.
What if the destination list changes during the work?
Send the update by message. If it changes the quantity materially, we agree a revised fixed price before continuing.
Can you supply the cartons and labels?
You can supply them, or we can propose a suitable option. Either way, the cost is part of the fixed price confirmed before the work starts.
