How do you pack and label cartons for multi-store or multi-SKU deliveries?

A:Labelling is what makes a multi-store shipment usable rather than just delivered. Each carton carries a destination code, an SKU code and a sequential carton number, and the master packing list maps every carton to its store.

Standard labelling we apply

  • Destination code — store number or cluster name, printed large enough to read from a pallet.
  • SKU and quantity per carton, so receiving staff can check without opening the box.
  • Sequential carton numbering — the fastest way to spot a shortage during receiving.
  • Pallet clustering by destination so each store receives one consolidated unit where volume allows.

Give us your label template

If your warehouse or 3PL uses a label template, send it before packing starts. Matching your template avoids re-labelling on arrival, which is one of the most common avoidable handling costs in multi-store programmes.

Send your label template and store list for a packing scheme.
