Manually add an instruction to an item

You can manually add instructions that are related to item shipping or storage. You can create an instruction for an item either when an instruction code does not exist for an item or when you want to create a special instruction for an item. For example, for expensive or fragile items, you can add instructions to make a foam enclosure for the package that is molded to its specific measurements.
