Hobby Lobby Packaging Guidelines

Meet Hobby Lobby packaging guidelines: proper carton & pallet labels, Code 128 barcodes, and precise label placement for compliant shipping.

What are the requirements for carton or pallet labels and their placement?

The barcode label must be placed within a 6"x 4" area located in the bottom, right corner of the case pack. Two stickers should be affixed to the case pack on opposite sides in the bottom right corners or on the top and bottom or ends with proper spacing. The barcode must meet guidelines using Code 128, with a length of 19-20 characters including a colon divider, and printed preferably on white matte labels with black ink.

What are the requirements for placing labels on cartons being shipped?

The barcode label must be placed within a 6"x 4" area located in the bottom, right corner of the case pack. Two stickers should be affixed on opposite sides of the case pack in the bottom right corners. If there is not enough room, the stickers can be placed on the top and bottom or ends of the case pack with the proper spacing. The barcode type must be Code 128 and the length must be 19-20 characters, including a colon divider between the PO# and HL SKU#. The labels should preferably be white with black ink or highly contrasting colors. There's no mention of GS1 or UCC18 labels, or any additional label types.
