Below you will find a common list of FAQs that our users have when it comes to packaging guidelines for Vistar.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
No, you cannot mix multiple SKUs per carton. Each master case, inner carton, and unit must have one unique UPC according to the guidelines.
What are the max dimensions and weights for cartons?
Cartons (or shippable items) should not weigh more than 50 pounds or measure longer than 5 feet. In addition, items that exceed 20”×20”×20” or a 4.5 cube are considered oversized and will incur a chargeback.
Where do I place the label on a carton?
Each carton must display one unique, scannable UPC. For a master carton, inner carton and unit pack, only one UPC is allowed. In particular, the inner carton label (UPC barcode) is best placed on the bottom. All labels must meet the specified dimensions (3.02" length, 1.25" height, 2:1 ratio, minimum 15 mil base line, 0.25" quiet zone on each side) and use thermal printing with smudge proof ink on highâquality, non-reflective label stock.
