Measuring, Dispatch, and Preparation for Shipping represents the final stage in the leather production cycle, where the finished product is precisely measured, labeled, and packaged to ensure accuracy, traceability, and full protection during transportation. This stage serves as the critical bridge between the tannery and the customer, playing an essential role in maintaining quality and commercial trust.

At this stage, each hide is placed on a digital area-measuring machine, which scans the irregular contours of the hide and calculates the actual usable square footage. Despite the natural variations in hide shapes, this measurement is completely accurate. Once calculated, the area is either stamped or directly printed on the flesh side of the leather, providing full transparency for both seller and buyer. This practice supports fair pricing and precise inventory management.

After measurement, hides are categorized according to type, size, quality grade, and customer order. They are then either folded or rolled, depending on their characteristics, and prepared for packaging. Each batch is secured in durable, specialized packaging designed to protect the leather against damage during transportation and storage. Every package is labeled with technical details such as batch number, quality grade, color, and final destination, ensuring smooth logistics and efficient delivery within the supply chain.

This final stage guarantees that the leather reaches domestic and international customers in the best possible condition, ready for use in apparel, furniture, automotive upholstery, or luxury leather goods. The process reflects the commitment of Iranian leather manufacturers to precision, professionalism, and customer satisfaction at every step of the production journey.
