Ron Jon Surf Shop Packaging & Routing Guidelines

Discover Ron Jon Surf Shop packaging guidelines: learn rules for single SKU cartons, PO mixing, size limits, and proper label placement for safe shipping.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?

No, cartons must not mix SKUs. Each carton is meant to ship items from a single purchase order with one SKU, and any style or color substitutions require written approval.

Can you mix POs in a single carton?

No; each carton should only contain one purchase order as per the packaging guidelines.

Can you mix POs in a single pallet?

Yes, you can mix purchase orders on a single pallet provided they have the same start ship date, are going to the same destination zip code, and are picked and packed on the same day. However, orders cannot be held for the purpose of building a consolidated pallet.

What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?

Small Package Shipments: Each carton must not weigh more than 70 lbs and the length and girth combined must not exceed 130 cubic inches. Additionally, for case packs, packages should be less than three cubic feet and not exceed 70 lbs (with a minimum of 3 lbs).

What are the min dimensions and weights for cartons?

The guidelines specify a minimum weight of 3 lbs per package, but no minimum dimensions are provided.

Where do I place the label on a carton?

For all cartons, the label must be placed on the outside front. In detail, the standard carton label must include the supplier’s name & address, purchase order number, merchandise description, case/inner pack details, weight, UPC, Ron Jon SKU, unit quantity, and any ‘Ticketed’ marking. For case pack shipments (single item, pre‐ticketed) the label on the outside front must specifically include the Ron Jon SKU, shipped quantity, full item description, color, and vendor style number. Additionally, if the carton contains fragile items (or surfboards), a ‘Fragile’ (or ‘Fragile – Handle with Care’) label must be placed on the carton’s exterior to alert shippers.
