Can I stack pallets?
No. Pallets cannot be column stacked; they must be built as a stable interlocking block without column stacking.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
No, you cannot mix multiple SKUs per carton. Each carton must contain a single SKU except for approved exceptions such as 'pack by store' orders, assortments, or pre-pack orders.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?
Yes, if order size dictates SKU consolidation. SKUs must be grouped together by layering them on the pallet with a slip or plastic sheet separating each SKU.
Can you mix POs in a single carton?
No, each purchase order must follow its specific carton configuration and cannot be combined with others in a single carton.
Can you mix POs in a single pallet?
No. The guidelines state that each purchase order’s items must be shipped in a single case pack and pallet configuration, which implies that mixing POs on one pallet is not allowed.
What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?

What are the min dimensions and weights for cartons?

Where do I place the label on a pallet?
For cartons, the label requirements are: Carton markings must face outward and the UCC-128 label must be placed on the top right corner of the carton. For pallets, although no specific location on the pallet is described, a pallet label must be affixed to each pallet. This label should include the PO number, product item number, and pallet carton total, and must be approximately 8½" x 11" for clear visibility.
