Walmart Packaging Guidelines of All Seasons

Walmart is big buyer of Bangladesh for garments sector. They have lots of products which they
are shipped to the different countries from Bangladesh in every season. I have been working in
2 apparel brands of Walmart these are Athletic Works and George. In this article I have try to
provide some information about Walmart packaging guidelines or manual of all season. 

Brand Name:
A name of style starts with three letters where first two letters express the brand name, that is
AW for Athletic Works and GR for George. And the last one is used for the season. For
example; AWS means it is a spring season product of Athletic Works brand. 

Season Code: 
There are four season of Walmart. To identify the packed garments seasons Walmart referred to
use the individual season tag or sticker with garments and also mentioned the season code on
hangtag and notify the season on that cartons shipping marks, which help to send the goods to
market before that season. 

Season code is a numerical number by which we can know the suitable seasons to be wear of that
products. Each season have different code and color identification tag or sticker which is tagging
or attaching with garments before packing. Some goods are shipped without season which is
known as ‘year’ season and the code is “000”. 

Season Month Code Identify tag color

Spring April, May, June 106 Yellow
Summer July, August, September 209 Pink
Fall October, November, December 312 Blue
Winter January, February, March 403 Violate
Year N/A 000 N/A
We know there are four season in Walmart calendar, these are Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
And every season consists of three months.Walmart season codes expresses by the number of
three-digits these are 106, 209, 312 and 403. 

Spring-106, Summer- 209, Fall- 312, Winter- 403. 

The first season consists of April, May and June. The number of last month of that season used
as a code of 1st season that is 106. The first digit expresses the season number e.g. 1,2,3 and 4
and others are express the month e.g. 06,09, 12 and 03. 

For example- 106 (Spring), where ‘1’ is first season which is spring and ‘06’ is month (April,
May and June),another example is 403 (Winter), where the 4 is the number of season which is
the last season and 03 is the number of last month (January, February and March) of that season.
At the same way others season code express the same meaning as per different season.
