BFG Supply Company Packaging & Routing Guidelines

Follow BFG Supply Co guidelines: no mixing SKUs or POs in cartons/pallets, with proper label placement for smooth shipping & receiving.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?

No, you cannot mix multiple SKUs in a carton unless they are components of a specific kit or display.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?

No, vendors must load all of one product together; different SKUs should not be mixed on the same pallet.

Can you mix POs in a single carton?

No, purchase orders should not be mixed in a single carton. Each purchase order's product should be packed and loaded together unless they form part of a specific kit or display.

Can you mix POs in a single pallet?

No, you should not mix purchase orders on a single pallet. All of one product must be packed together. Minimal mixing is only permitted when shipping less than a full pallet’s quantity.

Where do I place the label on a carton?

Carton labels must be applied on two adjacent sides of the carton so that when packed, the label(s) face out. For all cartons the applied label must clearly show: 1) Vendor SKU#, 2) Item description, 3) Vendor name, 4) Quantity and unit of measure, 5) A shipping container bar code (in one of the accepted formats with details per buyer), 6) Manufacture or expiration date for products with a shelf-life, and 7) A clear indication if the case is a master case.

Where do I place the label on a pallet?

The guide instructs that the packing slip attached to a pallet must be clearly marked for easy identification. In addition, for cartons on the pallet, labels showing the required information (vendor SKU, item description, vendor name, quantity, unit of measure, bar code, manufacture/expiration date, etc.) must be applied to two adjacent sides with the labels facing out to facilitate the receiving process.
