Ulta Beauty Packaging & Routing Guidelines

Ulta Beauty Packaging Guidelines FAQ: Discover rules on stacking, mixing SKUs, carton dimensions, and label placements for efficient shipping.

Can I stack pallets?

No, stacking pallets (double stacking and wrapping them together) is not allowed.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?

Yes, you can mix multiple SKUs per carton using the Mixed Case Packing Requirements. The carton must be clearly marked as 'MIXED' or 'MIXED SKUs', the SKUs must be segregated (e.g., using rubber bands or layer separation), and only one inner pack per SKU is allowed.

Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?

Yes, you can mix multiple SKUs on a pallet as long as like SKUs are grouped together in layers, and the pallet meets the specified height and loading requirements (single SKU pallets up to 51" and multiple SKU pallets up to 75").

Can you mix POs in a single carton?

No, cartons may not contain multiple POs.

Can you mix POs in a single pallet?

No, you cannot mix POs on a single pallet. Each pallet must contain one PO, except in cases where PO quantities are small; then, POs can be loaded on one pallet if they are separated by a slip sheet.

What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?

Maximum dimensions: any side up to 24 inches, any two sides up to 20 inches, and all three sides up to 17 inches. Maximum weight is 40 lbs.

What are the min dimensions and weights for cartons?

Minimum dimensions for cartons are: any side must be less than 6 inches, any two sides less than 7 inches, and all three sides less than 9 inches. The minimum case weight is 0.4 lbs.

Where do I place the label on a carton?

For palletized cartons, the label must be placed outward facing so it can be scanned from any side. The barcode must not be on a seam or corner and must be at least 1 inch from any edge. For cartons over 7 inches tall, place the label a minimum of 1 inch from the bottom right corner and 1.5 to 3 inches from the side. For cartons less than 7 inches tall, position the label in the same area with any excess folded over the top (and do not cover taped seams). If the carton is under 4½ inches in height, the GS1-128 label may be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and folded over the side provided the barcode remains unfolded. Also, any Hazmat label required must be completely visible.

Where do I place the label on a pallet?

For pallets requiring a GS1 label (typically those containing a single SKU), the label must be applied in the upper corner of the 48‑inch side of the pallet, over the shrink wrap, ensuring the GS1-128 barcode is scannable and meets the specified dimensions. For pallets with more than one SKU (where a GS1 label is optional), if a GS1 label is not used then a Pallet Master Label must be applied per Section 15.2 requirements (though exact placement details for the master label are not provided here).
