A packing and shipping verification system and method operates in real-time to virtually eliminate human error. Machine-readable labels are applied to components (e.g., parts) as they are produced. The label on each component is scanned immediately prior to packing into a container thereby allowing a processing unit to verify and record packing operations. Packing errors are reported in real-time so that they are corrected before a label is generated and affixed to the packing container. After container packing is completed, the processing unit causes a label to be generated that is applied to the container in real-time. A similar process is followed when small containers are placed into larger containers. Every operation is verified by machine scanning of the labels. Labels for containers are only generated after proper packing has been verified by the processing unit. Downstream users scan the labels to extract component information.
