Can I stack pallets?
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?
Can you mix POs in a single pallet?
What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?
What are the min dimensions and weights for cartons?
There isn’t a single “carton label” placement, but the requirements vary by label type. For consumer products subject to FPLA/UPLR, the label must be affixed to the packaging so that it remains intact until it reaches the ultimate consumer and be prominent and legible. For shipping cartons, the required markings (PO#, quantity, style, color, size, item description, etc.) must be clearly displayed on the carton; although no specific face or location is dictated, they must be applied where they can be readily seen. In addition, the packing slip should be placed on the last carton loaded (so it is seen at the delivery center), and for imported products the country‐of‐origin label must be conspicuously placed on the container.
