Where do I place the label on a pallet?
For pallet labels, the label must include the pallet count, Bill of Lading number, SKU (or indicate ‘Mixed SKU’), PRO number and PO number(s). It must be applied squarely (not at an angle) on both forklift entry sides of the pallet and affixed on the outside of any plastic wrap. For carton labels, they should be positioned away from seams or corners to avoid being crushed, and for item labels, they must be placed on a flat, easily visible and scan‐able portion of the sellable unit (avoiding curves or wrapping around corners).
