For cartons on a pallet, the label must be placed vertically on the longer side at the lower right corner, not closer than 1‑1/4 inches from the bottom or side – and no other barcode labels should be on the same or opposite side of the EDI label. For pure pallets, a pallet-level GS1-128 label is permitted provided it is applied on the pallet with the label facing out and fully visible for scanning.
Below you will find a common list of FAQs that our users have when it comes to packaging guidelines for Bass Pro Shops.
Can I stack pallets?
Yes, pallets may be stacked to maximize cube efficiency as long as the product allows and can be shipped without damage.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
No. Standard cartons must contain one SKU only. Mixed SKU cases (allowing multiple SKUs) are allowed only as non‐standard, leftover shipments with special labeling and, for Bass Pro Shops, only on an exception basis with prior approval.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?
Yes. When shipping multiple SKUs on one pallet, group the same SKUs together.
What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?
The maximum carton dimensions are 30" x 24" x 18" and the maximum weight is 50 lbs.
What are the min dimensions and weights for cartons?
For Master Case cartons, the minimum dimensions are 9" x 9" x 6". In the Cabela’s Retail Canada 2022 Vendor Guide, the packed case must not exceed 40 lbs, while the Bass Pro Shops 2022 Domestic Vendor Guide specifies a limit of 50 lbs.
Where do I place the label on a carton?
There are two main label placements based on the label type. For GS1‐128 labels on EDI cartons (including mixed cases), the label must be placed vertically along the longer side of the carton on the lower right side – it must be positioned no closer than 1-1/4" (or the equivalent margin, such as 1% of the edge) from the bottom or side. If the height of the case is less than the label, the label should be folded so that the SSCC-18 barcode portion remains within the proper margins. For non-EDI Master Case labels, the label is required on the short side in the bottom-right corner; however, if the box’s end is narrower than the 4" label size, the label should instead be applied to the long side to ensure it is scannable.
