Export Week specs
Pack details and quantity guide for Export Week.
Cross-border kit contents
The Export Week specs page sets out the practical details behind an export-ready promo kit. It helps your team confirm packing limits, branded contents and the admin points that usually surface once cross-border shipping starts.
Export Week specs pin down what can travel, what needs branding, and how each unit should be packed before dispatch. Think drawstring bags, notebooks, pens, lanyards, snack inserts and light desk items that suit trade counters, distributor handovers and departure events. Weight, carton count and print position matter more here than adding extra pieces.
Include the destination country, final drop point and any item restrictions in the brief from the start. Some teams also add an inside card with pack contents, contact details and quantity per carton so receiving staff can check stock without opening every box. That small admin piece helps when goods move through a freight agent or arrive at a shared stand.
What the specs sheet records
Capture unit quantities, branding method, carton breakdown and any documents needed with the shipment. One line should show exactly what is packed per kit and what ships as loose event support stock. The useful outcome is a list your buyer, warehouse and stand team can all follow without guessing.
Match Export Week specs with the final packing list before anything leaves the warehouse. Use the contact form to note destination city, courier preference and whether branded contents are for exhibition use, partner gifting or a send-off pack. Add any customs-facing details that need to appear on the outer label or inside count sheet.
- Per-kit counts for export packing
- Outer labels checked against destination
Shipping conditions across South Africa
Johannesburg dispatch often feeds export movements through OR Tambo, while Durban and Cape Town can suit coastal routing or regional event support. Cartons may need stronger sealing, clearer labelling and simpler product mixes when stock changes hands more than once. If part of the order is collected locally and part is exported, split those quantities on the sheet.
Humidity can affect paper inserts, sticker adhesion and some fabric finishes during storage or transit. Heat inside vehicles is worth noting for confectionery, candles and anything with adhesive parts. Battery items, liquids and food products should be flagged early because they may need different handling or may be excluded from the pack.

Details worth adding early
Use Export Week for trade shows, distributor drops, and send-offs that need a South African branding pack.
List the event name, destination country, venue date and who receives the goods when they land. It also helps to note whether kits are handed out one by one, placed on tables or reserved for partner meetings. That context changes pack size, language needs and how many spare units should travel.
