Below you will find a common list of FAQs that our users have when it comes to packaging guidelines for iHerb.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
No, you cannot mix SKUs in the same carton. Each carton must contain items of a single SKU.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?
Yes, iHerb allows mixing multiple SKUs on a pallet using a multi‐SKU pallet. For items with less than a full pallet quantity, they must be stacked separately according to specific guidelines (less than one tier, one tier, or greater than one tier per item, with heavier cartons on the bottom).
Can you mix POs in a single carton?
No, you cannot mix POs in a single carton.
Can you mix POs in a single pallet?
No – each pallet should contain cartons for one PO. However, if carton counts are insufficient to fill a complete pallet, you can combine orders by placing cardboard or slip sheet dividers between the POs.
Where do I place the label on a carton?
For cartons with a GS1-128 label, the label must be applied on a single side of each carton so that it faces outward – its GS1-128 barcode should be positioned in the lower right quadrant, always facing out when on a pallet. For cartons labeled with an EAN/UPC barcode, the preferred placement is on the lower right quadrant of the back of the carton, maintaining a proper quiet zone and respecting edge rules.
Where do I place the label on a pallet?
For EAN/UPC labels, the barcode should be placed on the lower right quadrant of the back of the package, with proper quiet zones. For GS1-128 labels, the barcode must be applied on the lower right quadrant of the carton and must always face outward when the carton is on a pallet. For EDI compliant cartons, at least one side must be marked or labeled and oriented outward on the pallet.
