Cartons must contain Inbound Carton Content Labels (ICCL) which are 4" X 6" white shipping labels. Each carton requires 2 ICCLs placed on the bottom right corner of the short side of each carton. The barcode should be facing the left side. The label must include PO number and must match the Packing list PO. Carton labels must not be covered with tape, as this will make the barcode unscannable. Labels can either be stenciled onto the carton or printed onto a 4" X 6" shipping label affixed to the long side of the carton. All labels must face out for visibility and auditing. Cartons containing delicate items should have "Handle with Care, Fragile" labels.

Cartons should not "overstuff" and must not contain excessive fillers such as tissue, paper, or polybags. All cartons have to be the same size and contain the same quantity per style/color/size, except for the "end" carton. Delicate fabrications and oversized items require prior approval for non-standard carton sizes. Cartons should be sealed with tamper-evident security tape and made from corrugated cardboard with a minimum edge crush strength of 40 lbs or burst strength of 200 lbs. per square inch.
