Rite Aid Packaging & Routing Guidelines

Follow Rite Aid packaging guidelines: mix SKUs or POs correctly, label cartons precisely, and apply seasonal stripe rules for compliance.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?

Generally, each pallet should only contain cartons from one purchase order. However, if there aren’t enough cartons for a full pallet, you may combine multiple items (which may include different SKUs) on a single pallet provided you use cardboard/heavy paper dividers and clearly mark the pallet to segregate each purchase order.

Can you mix POs in a single carton?

No, you cannot mix POs in a single carton. All cartons must be shipped in the same case pack as ordered.

Can you mix POs in a single pallet?

Each pallet should generally contain cartons for a single PO; however, if the carton count is insufficient to build a complete pallet, you may combine multiple POs on one pallet provided you use cardboard/heavy paper dividers and clearly mark the pallet to segregate the different POs.

Where do I place the label on a carton?

For master cartons, suppliers must print the carton marks in block letters: the front panel should display 'Rite Aid' and the side panels should include 'Rite Aid' along with the PO# and other required details (item description, item number, etc.). For seasonal stripe labels, a stripe must be printed around the front, sides, and back of the carton with a height equal to 15% of the carton’s height and in the designated seasonal color (e.g., Christmas, Easter, Back-to-School, etc.).
