Where do I place the label on a carton?
There are two types of labels. For the carton label, use a standard 4 x 6 label with Arial 12-point font (or equivalent) containing the required ship-to address, returns address, purchase order, style numbers, quantity, size range, color assortment, and lead carton indicator. The carton label must be placed on the short side of the carton in the lower left-hand corner, facing out and visible at receipt. For cartons with equal width and length, use the shortest side (the panel that isn’t parallel to the top flap seam). The carton should be upright, labels read left-to-right, and only one label applied without covering any other markings. For the packing slip label, a packing slip (prepared per purchase order) must be placed in a sealed envelope and attached to the outside of the lead carton – this lead carton is the one in the top left row of the pallet, clearly marked as the “Lead Carton.”
Below you will find a common list of FAQs that our users have when it comes to packaging guidelines for Forman Mills.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
No, you cannot mix multiple SKUs per carton unless the purchase order specifically calls for a 'complex pack' or an 'assorted' arrangement.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?
No. Only one style per pallet is allowed when possible. Multiple SKUs (styles) on a pallet are acceptable only if they are separated by a divider sleeve (e.g., cardboard or Kraft paper) so that the styles are grouped together and not co-mingled.
Can you mix POs in a single carton?
No. Each carton must be dedicated to a single purchase order with its associated label and packing slip details, so mixing POs in one carton is not allowed.
Can you mix POs in a single pallet?
No. Each pallet must be dedicated to a single PO, with one packing slip per PO and no split shipments allowed.
What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?
Packed cartons must not exceed 50 lbs; there is no specification provided for maximum carton dimensions.
Where do I place the label on a carton?
All cartons must have one standard 4 x 6 label using Arial 12-point font that displays the required shipping information. The label must be placed on the short side of the carton in the lower left-hand corner, facing out and visible upon receipt. For cartons with equal width and length, the label should be on the shortest side (i.e. the panel not parallel to the top flap seam). The carton should be upright, and the label must be read left-to-right. Additionally, if using stamped shipping information along with a printed label, the printed information must match exactly; if not, the stamped information should be crossed out.
