3 Introduction These specifications provide guidelines for shipping/parts identification labels for suppliers shipping to Karmann Manufacturing Plants. The label is designed to improve the productivity and controls at suppliers and Karmann Manufacturing, by allowing effective and efficient capture of data for production counts, warehouse input/output, shipper generation, forwarding, freight transfer control, receiving, and other inventory controls. Strict adherence to these specifications for the Shipping/Parts Identification Label will benefit both suppliers and Karmann Manufacturing. Plant Shipping Address The plant shipping address is mandatory in the identification of packages or unit loads shipped by highway carrier to Karmann Manufacturing plants by outside suppliers or by other Karmann Manufacturing plants. The plant shipping address shall include the plant name, plant dock, plant location code, plant street address, city, state and zip code. The supplier shall refer to their most recent material release authorization for the correct shipping and dock location address. Labels Suppliers must insure that all materials shipped to Karmann Manufacturing Corporation Plants are correctly labeled and that the labels are properly attached or inserted into the holders on the racks or containers. A Container Label shall be used to identify each single container/unit of like parts. A Master Label shall be used to identify the total contents of a multiple single pack load of the same part number. A Mixed Load Label shall be used to identify a load of multiple single packs of different part numbers. Required Data Areas and Titles Shown are the required data fields for all labels: --- Karmann Part number --- Quantity --- Purchase Order number Page 3

4 --- Serial number --- Plant Code --- Storage Location --- Drop Zone --- Engineering Change/Revision Level --- Manufacturing Date --- Supplier Code --- Supplier Name --- Country of Origin The label paper shall be white in color with bold, black printing. The required label size is 4 in. (102mm) high by 6 in. (152 mm) wide or ISO size A6. All labels must meet the AIAG specifications for quality, reflectivity, and readability. Labels must be scannable from the exterior of the shipping unit (not covered by banding, cardboard, or shrink wrap. The character size of the Plant Location Code shall be 1 in. (25.4 mm) high. The character size of the Karmann Manufacturing Plant Name, and Street Address shall be 0.20 in. (5.1 mm) high. The character size of the Dock Location Code shall be 1 in. (25.4 mm) high. The data identifiers listed below SHALL be used on Karmann labels: Bar code Labeling This guideline is the standard for the automotive industry with which Karmann Manufacturing expects all suppliers to adhere. Adhesive types can be pressure sensitive or dry gummed as long as adherence to the package substrate is assured and application is wrinklefree and only for use on expendable packaging. For returnable/durable packaging, use only as authorized by Karmann Manufacturing Corporate Material Handling Page 4

5 Engineering Department. Label Location The label or tag shall be attached to two adjacent sides of each individual package/container (See Page AIAG B-10) exceptions may apply where there is no area on the sides of the containers to apply the label. For unit load packaging that is shrink wrapped the master label and mix load labels must be applied to the outside. When individual containers are palletized and made into a unit load for mechanical handling, the master label shall be attached to two adjacent sides of the unit load. Label Protection Label protection against moisture, weathering, abrasion, etc., may be required in harsh environments and is encouraged wherever practical. Laminates, sprays, window envelopes, and clear plastic pouches are examples of possible protection method. Care must be taken to assure that labels meet reflectivity and contrast requirements and can be scanned with contact and non-contact devices. Plant Shipping Address The plant shipping address is mandatory in the identification of packages or unit loads shipped by highway carrier to Karmann Manufacturing Corporation plants by outside suppliers or by other Karmann Manufacturing plants. The plant shipping address shall include the plant name, plant dock, plant location code, plant street address, city, state and zip code. The supplier shall refer to their most recent material release authorization for the correct shipping and dock location address. Packaging and Shipping Label The packaging and shipping label is used to identify the contents in the container being shipped to the plant. It shall include the part number, part description, supplier name, supplier code, quantity, engineering level change, safety item identification; date manufactured, plant dock location, drop zone location and serial number. All part numeric identifications shall have the bar code identifier directly below them. Karmann Manufacturing request that the character size for the part number on the packaging label should be 0.5 inches (12.7mm). Multiple, Common Item Packs Page 5

6 A Master Label is required to be used to identify the total contents of a multiple single pack load of the same part number. The label shall be placed on the unit load in such a manner that when the pack is broken apart the label is discarded (e.g., attach to outside of stretch wrap). Mixed Item Loads A Mixed Load Label shall be used to identify a load of multiple single packs of different part numbers. For further information see AIAG B-10 pages 18 and 23. Note: Mix loads are required to have a Master Label of each individual part applied to the shipments. The label shall be placed on the unit load in such a manor that when the pack is broken apart the label is discarded (e.g. attach to outside of stretch wrap or affix to the banding). Removal of Old Labels Assuring that the removal of old labels prior to shipping has been completed remains the responsibility of the supplier, this includes standard container returns that are managed by third party container management facilities.
