Below you will find a common list of FAQs that our users have when it comes to packaging guidelines for Lord & Taylor.
Can I stack pallets?
The guidelines do not specifically address stacking one pallet on top of another. They instruct you to stack items on a pallet and note that freight shipments should be reinforced for stacking because 'Do Not Stack' requests cannot always be accommodated and may incur surcharges.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
No. Each carton must contain only one GTIN/UPC (i.e., one SKU). Mixed cartons are only permitted in limited cases when there are too few units to fill a carton, and even then, only units of the same item (such as different sizes or colors) may be combined.
What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?
The maximum carton dimensions are 36" (length), 24" (width), and 30" (height), with a maximum weight of 60lbs.
What are the min dimensions and weights for cartons?
Carton dimensions must be at least 9" in length, 9" in width, and 4" in height, with a minimum weight of 3 lbs.
Where do I place the label on a carton?
For cartons 7½ inches or taller, use the preferred vertical placement: place the label on the longest side of the carton, 3 inches from the vertical edge and 1¼ inches from the bottom. For cartons under 7½ inches, you have two options: use an overlapped vertical placement with the same measurements provided the barcode is not folded, or place the label on top of the carton, parallel to (but not overlapping) the seam (in which case the 3 inch and 1¼ inch specifications do not apply).
Where do I place the label on a pallet?
For palletized shipments the provided PO bar code must be affixed so it is clearly visible on each pallet. For carton labels (which accompany pallet loads), the requirements break down as follows:
• For cartons 7½ inches in height or taller – use the preferred vertical placement on the longest side of the carton, 3 inches from the vertical edge and 1¼ inches from the bottom edge.
• For cartons under 7½ inches – you may either use an overlapped vertical placement with the same offsets (ensuring the barcode is not folded) or, as an alternative, place the label on top of the carton (parallel to but not overlapping the seam, with no specific offsets required).
• For cartons 7½ inches in height or taller – use the preferred vertical placement on the longest side of the carton, 3 inches from the vertical edge and 1¼ inches from the bottom edge.
• For cartons under 7½ inches – you may either use an overlapped vertical placement with the same offsets (ensuring the barcode is not folded) or, as an alternative, place the label on top of the carton (parallel to but not overlapping the seam, with no specific offsets required).
