MANUAL INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW:
This manual is a work in progress. The contents contained in this manual will continue to evolve
over time.
GOAL:
The goal of this manual is to provide NIKE Apparel Technical Designers/Developers, Product
Developers and Factory Partners with standardized folding methods for NIKE’s most commonly-
produced product types.
The purpose of these standards is to enable speed and consistency in the preparation and folding of
NIKE Apparel product.
If you do not see a product type that is representative of the style for which you are trying to
determine an appropriate folding method, please reach out to your NIKE PI (CQE or SQE) contact
for support.
SCOPE:
The scope of this manual DOES include guidelines for applying hangtags, joker tags and size strip
stickers (typically prior to folding), as well as how to fold and apply tissue paper to product requiring
extra protection during storage / shipping.
The scope does NOT include details on hangtag or joker tag item numbers or artwork, polybag /
protective package / carton specs or specific details, or any account-specific packing standards such
as GOH (goods on hanger) or pre-pack (when multiple units are packed together). Please leverage
existing resources for current out-of-scope topics.
NOTES:
This is a smart PDF - On the following pages, simply click on the bold word you’d like to learn more
about, and it will take you directly to that page.
FOR OUR FACTORY PARTNERS:

Folding method and tissue paper use should minimize risk of color transfer, snagging, creasing /
wrinkling or other shipping or storage-related quality issues, and should not prevent proper metal
detection due to thickness of garment after folding.
For example, you may need to reduce the number of folds for crease-prone materials such as
spacer knit (example: Tech Fleece), or reduce and/or shift placement of folds to protect certain
graphics / embellishments.
Individual NIKE Developers may modify these standards to meet their specific product and / or
consumer needs. Please refererence individual style specs / BOMs for any style-specific folding /
packing exceptions, and consult with NIKE API (Apparel Product Integrity) as needed.

General Terminology
Pre-Folding = Action that takes place before garment folding begins. See example below:
Collar should be
folded down.
All buttons should

be buttoned.
Prior to folding, all closures (buttons, zippers, snaps, etc.) should be closed / secured unless
otherwise noted.
Folding = Action that takes place after pre-folding is complete, but before garment is inserted in
polybag or other protective package. See example below:

DEVELOPMENT

General Folding Guidelines
All product should be folded to fit in the appropriate polybag (or other protective package) size.
Bag is too LARGE. Bag is too SMALL. Bag is just RIGHT.
Whenever possible, folded garment dimensions Products that are sold as a set
should be the same across all sizes within the same (example: warm-ups)
style, and the same polybag / protective package should be folded to approximately
size should be used. the same size.

Likelihood of creases or other quality-related shipping issues

Notes on Tissue Paper

1) To minimize adjustments after final cost approval, please leverage previously tested color / embellishment /
material combos whenever possible, to determine level of risk / need for tissue on similar future combos.
2) Different material lots may require different tissue paper needs, depending on test results.
3) Please ensure all prints / embellishments are properly cured, using correct ink formulation, to minimize risk
of shipping / storage-related issues. Tissue should not be used to “fix” print-related issues not addressed at the
appropriate stage of production.

Tissue Paper Mummy Wrap Instructions
As noted on the Tissue Paper Decision Tree, some styles may require what is called a “Mummy
Wrap”, which is intended to prevent dye / color migration. In these cases, it is important to ensure
that no part of the garment is touching another part of the garment, without a layer of tissue paper
in between. The following pages show examples of generic product types. Please adjust folding /

Hanger Terms and Definitions
Example:
NIKE product is sometimes shipped
(from factory or DC (Distribution Center))
on a hanger.
This is an example of a
VAS, or value-added service, and is often
referred to as GOH (garment on hanger).
NOTE: Please reference www.Nikeconnect.com for other VAS documentation not contained
in this Manual.
GOH details are typically specified on the PO (Purchase Order)*.
On the PO, each item required for GOH is specified with a VAS code:
HNB = Nike Stores Custom Hanger;

Used only for Nike Store product requiring GOH
Identified by the “Ship-To” data (Customer 8000001) in the PO
HNG = GS1** Standard Hanger;

Used for all other product requiring GOH
SZR = Crown Sizer;

Used for communicating the product size
PPP*** = Prepack Polybag;

Used for protecting product during shipping and storage
*For KIDS / INFANT product sold as a set, Hanger details may (also) be included on the BOM.
**GS1 is a 3rd-party entity which provides industry standards for hangers, crown sizers, etc.
Please visit https://www.gs1us.org for more details.
***Direct Ship POs do not require the PPP code, however, the steps detailed in the GOH Polybags
and GOH Cartons sections should still be followed.

GOH Cartons
This page contains high-level requirements for GOH Cartons, which do not have a VAS code.
Please follow the NIKE Supplier Manual (Chapter 16 Nike Vendor Guide Packaging Cartons) for
carton specs and all additional details.
Select the appropriate carton size and bundle

quantity for each shipment, to minimize

excessive material charges and risk of product
damage such as wrinkling or creasing.
Fold bottom (open) end of polybag as needed.
Once bagged, garments may be folded

in half (horizontally), to allow for smaller
carton size to be used, as long as product
quality is preserved, and overall carton cost /
consumption does not increase.

Alternate the orientation of each bundle

within the carton, to distribute the weight

more evenly.
