Scheels Packaging & Routing Guidelines

Explore Scheels Packaging Guidelines: mix SKUs/POs, follow weight limits & proper label placement to ensure efficient carton and pallet shipping.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?

Yes, as long as they are for the same Purchase Order.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?

Yes, you can mix SKUs as long as they are packed in cartons for the same purchase order. Additionally, different purchase orders may be consolidated on one pallet if they are for the same store location.

Can you mix POs in a single carton?

No, different POs should not be mixed within the same carton. Only items for the same PO may be mixed.

Can you mix POs in a single pallet?

Yes, different PO's may be mixed on a single pallet as long as they are for the same store location.

What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?

The guide states that a packed case (carton) should not weigh more than 50 pounds. While no strict maximum carton dimensions are specified, note that for UPS small package shipments a carton is considered oversized if any one side exceeds 48 inches, if two sides exceed 30 inches, or if the length plus girth is over 130 inches. Additionally, master cases with dimensions greater than 24 x 18 x 12 inches (and containing only one single selling unit) must be packaged for small parcel shipping.

Where do I place the label on a carton?

For non-EDI vendors, the lead (carton #1) must have an outside plastic envelope containing the packing list with the top carton clearly marked “Packing List Attached.” For EDI vendors, the UCC-128 label must be applied crease‐free next to the other shipping labels on each carton. If the shipping carton is also the retail carton, the label should be placed on the non-customer facing side to preserve the retail presentation.

Where do I place the label on a pallet?

Shipping labels must be affixed in a clearly visible spot on all pallets and boxes. For EDI vendors, the UCC-128 label must be applied crease‐free on each pallet (and box) next to the other shipping labels; if the carton is the retail carton, it should be placed on the non–customer facing side. For non-EDI vendors, the lead carton (#1) must have an outside plastic envelope with the packing list and be clearly marked “Packing List Attached”.
