What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?
Where do I place the label on a carton?
On palletized shipments, all labels must face outward so they can be easily scanned. For pallet labels, a pallet header must be affixed on the top of the pallet and display the appropriate PO or ASN number when shipping multiple POs so that each pallet is easily distinguishable. In addition, carton labels (placed on each outer carton) must include the Babylist attention line, PO or ASN number, SKU, UPC (scannable and legible), unit counts, and other applicable details. For mixed cartons, a “MIXED” merchandise identifier must be clearly shown on the outer panel with a list of SKUs, and inner pack or base product labels should follow the illustrated placements (e.g. overlapped vertical for inner packs and designated areas for master case labels).
Below you will find a common list of FAQs that our users have when it comes to packaging guidelines for Babylist.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
Yes, you can mix multiple SKUs per carton. When doing so, you must use a MIXED Merchandise identifier, list the contents by SKU, description, and quantity, and ensure that the items are segregated by SKU (for example, using cardboard or polybags).
Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?
The guide only details mixing multiple SKUs within a carton by using a MIXED identifier. It does not specify mixing multiple SKUs on a pallet.
Can you mix POs in a single carton?
No, each carton must contain merchandise for only one PO. If shipping multiple POs in a single shipment, cartons must be properly labeled to avoid confusion.
Can you mix POs in a single pallet?
No. If shipping multiple POs, each pallet must be clearly identifiable by a single PO or ASN number.
What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?
For Dotcom Distribution, no carton should weigh more than 50 lbs and should not have dimensions exceeding 20 x 20 x 20 inches (which equates to roughly 49 lbs or an 8,000 cubic volume). Additionally, for INGRAM Nodes, any carton (or item) with two measurements over 18 inches or weighing more than 28 lbs is considered oversized.
Where do I place the label on a carton?
For cartons, the label placement differs by carton type. For an inner pack, the additional label should be placed as an overlapped vertical label on the base product (refer to Figure 1). For a master case, the label must be affixed on the outer panel as shown in Figure 2. In palletized shipments, all labels should be faced outward so they can be easily scanned.
