Does your company ship palletized items to Walmart? If so, you’re likely familiar with the specific requirements for Walmart pallet labeling. However, knowing these requirements and implementing them correctly can be a challenge. That’s where AbeTech comes in as your trusted partner to help you get it right.
AbeTech is here to guide you through Walmart's pallet labeling process, ensuring that your operations meet all compliance standards efficiently and accurately.
Understanding Walmart’s Pallet Labeling Requirements
Walmart has clear guidelines on how pallets need to be labeled, with different types of pallets requiring specific labels. All pallets delivered to Walmart must be labeled with the GS1 128 SSCC logistics barcode. Here’s a closer look at the different pallet types and their labeling requirements:
Pallet Pull
Pallet Pulls consist of packages of a single GTIN, which Walmart treats as one entity. The pallet remains intact until it reaches its final destination. The label for a Pallet Pull must include both the SSCC barcode and the GTIN-14 (ITF-14) barcode corresponding to the items on the pallet. The label must also prominently display the words "PALLET PULL."
Mixed Pallet
A Mixed Pallet contains more than one type of product. For these, no GTIN-14 barcode is required on the label, but the SSCC barcode is still essential. The words "MIXED PALLET" must also be printed on the label to clearly identify the contents.
PDQ Display Pallet
PDQ (Retail Ready Packaging) Display Pallets contain a single product type and are designed to be moved directly to the store floor. The label must include the corresponding GTIN-14 barcode of the products on the pallet, the SSCC barcode, and the words "PDQ DISPLAY."
The Importance of Label Placement
Walmart is specific about label placement: two labels per pallet, applied to the top right corner of adjacent sides. While this differs from the GS1 General Specification, which suggests placing labels within a certain distance from the floor, compliance with Walmart’s standards is crucial for seamless operations.
