Each carton must have a label on one of its short sides. The label should be placed so that the barcode is at the bottom right corner, 1" from the side margin and 1" from the bottom. Do not cover the labels with any tape, as covering with clear tape makes them unreadable. Labels should be smudge-proof with high print quality. The label must include detailed information such as vendor name, DC address, SKU barcode, PO number, carton dimensions, and other specified details.
