Shopper's World Packaging & Routing Guidelines

Explore Shopper's World Packaging Guidelines: consolidate SKUs & POs, label cartons correctly, and keep pallets organized for smooth shipments.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?

Yes – but only when multiple orders are being consolidated. If a box is used for more than one order, it must carry separate packing slips, invoices, and be labeled with each purchase order, style number, and quantity. Note that for warehouse shipments, all styles must be kept together.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?

No, the guidelines require that each style be kept together and organized on a pallet, which means you should not mix different SKUs on one pallet.

Can you mix POs in a single carton?

Yes; if multiple orders are packed in one carton, it must include separate packing slips and invoices for each PO and be labeled with multiple PO numbers, style numbers, and quantity numbers.

Where do I place the label on a carton?

For pre-packaged merchandise or boxed sets, the pressure sensitive label must be affixed to the upper left-hand corner of the front of the carton. For cartons containing shoes (Shoes in Box), the pressure sensitive ticket must be placed on the lower left side of the short side of the box, positioned 1/8" from the bottom and side edges. Additionally, if vendor tickets are applied on top of existing labels, the Shopper's World label should be placed so as not to cover the size or other key garment information.
