• Secure Packaging Execution: Pack picked items into correctly sized cartons or poly mailers, applying appropriate protective dunnage for fragile items, sealing packages securely, and applying shipping labels with barcode-side visibility for downstream scan compliance.
• Accuracy Verification: Perform a final item verification scan before sealing every package, confirming the picked item matches the order ticket exactly and flagging any discrepancy for supervisor resolution before the parcel enters the outbound sort flow.
