Accurate labeling on both inner boxes and the outer carton is crucial for smooth shipping, receiving, and inventory management. Here's why and how:
1.Inner Box Labeling:
Place a clear label on *each individual inner box* within the shipment.
This label should contain essential product details: Item Name, SKU/Part Number, Quantity per box, Batch/Lot Number (if applicable), and potentially a unique internal identifier.
Place labels prominently on the top or a visible side of the inner box.
2. Outer Carton Labeling:
Affix a comprehensive shipping label to the *outside* of the master carton.
This label must include: Full destination address (Shipping & Billing), Return address, Carrier-specific routing information (barcode, tracking number), and a clear indication of the total number of inner boxes contained within (e.g., "Box 1 of 3").
Place labels securely on the largest, most visible face of the carton, ensuring they are flat and completely unobstructed. Apply a second label on another side if required by the carrier or for redundancy.
Key Considerations:
Durability: Use weather-resistant labels and strong adhesive.
Clarity:Print must be sharp, smudge-free, and easy to read/scanned.
Consistency:Ensure information on inner box labels matches the contents listed on the outer carton label.
Visibility:Avoid placing labels over seams, flaps, or existing markings.
Why it Matters:
Proper (affixing labels to inner boxes and outer cartons) ensures correct identification at every stage, prevents loss or mis-shipment, speeds up warehouse processing, and provides vital traceability for both the sender and receiver. Taking the time to label meticulously saves significant time and cost downstream.
