True Value Packaging & Routing Guidelines

True Value Packaging Guidelines FAQ: Learn to mix SKUs safely, separate POs, and label pallets correctly for efficient shipping.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?

Yes, you can mix multiple SKUs on a pallet. When combining different items ordered in layer quantities on a single pallet, you must keep like items together and separate each different product with a piece of corrugate or Kraft paper. For orders less than layer quantities, different item numbers can be combined on a layer provided a pallet placard indicating the mixed item numbers and quantities is attached.

Can you mix POs in a single carton?

No, each PO must be in a separate carton with its own packing slip.

Can you mix POs in a single pallet?

No, each PO must be on a separate pallet. Do not mix multiple PO's on the same pallet.

Where do I place the label on a pallet?

There are two key types of pallet labels/mar markings required. First, for pallets containing less‐than‐layer quantities (i.e. where various item numbers are combined on a layer), a pallet placard must be attached to the pallet that lists all mixed item numbers and their quantities. Second, every pallet must display pallet level markings that include a pallet level packing list and the purchase order number. In addition, a sticker reading “DO NOT BREAK SHRINK WRAP” must be affixed to the pallet. For other container identification details, suppliers are directed to refer to the Packaging Requirements section.
