Designer Shoes Warehouse EDI Labeling and Ticketing Requirements
Designer Shoes Warehouse EDI Labeling guidelines described in the post are used for 832 UPC enabled footwear and accessory vendors. If a vendor is set up to use UPC codes, the product must be labeled with the vendor’s UPC codes. The UPC code adhesive label should be placed in the lower right-hand corner of the small side of the shoe box.
The suggested Designer Shoes Warehouse EDI Labeling Dimensions
The logo should not be covered up by the label. Use a smaller size label if necessary as long as the following conditions are met:
- UPC code must scan
- UPC code numbers must be readable (in case they must be keyed in)
- The size / width are clearly readable
- The color description is on the label
- Suggested label sizes – 1.375” X 4.375” or 3.5 cm X 11 cm
- The half size should be written as a fraction ½ not as a decimal 0.5.
Designer Shoes Warehouse must load the vendor’s EDI UPC codes from an on-line catalog or via 832 direct. The company cannot load UPC codes from a spreadsheet.
Barcode Specifications
The barcode label background must be white. Clear background is not acceptable.
Designer Shoes Warehouse EDI Labeling for Accessory Vendors Retail
Price tickets (tags or labels) are used for all retail non-footwear products and are pre-ticketed by the vendor. If the vendor is set up for UPC codes, then the UPC code must be on the product.
Labels need to be placed on the package in a manner which does not obscure merchandise description or usage information. Price tickets are applied in addition to the vendor’s UPC barcode. The 7 digit DSW SKU number is not available until all PO information has been provided/confirmed and the PO has been processed in company system. The POM Specialist will indicate the ticket type to be used once the vendor has confirmed/provided all PO information and the order has been processed.
832 UPC enabled vendors should not place the price labels over their UPC Codes. DSW ticket type 9 or 10 should be used if UPC codes are on a separate label/hang tag. DSW ticket type 20 or 21 has DSW information and the vendor’s UPC code on them. Hangtag Price Tickets require using a nylon locking loop and attaching it to the same side of the product as the vendor’s hangtag, normally on the right hand side.
Vendors are free to produce merchandise tickets locally using company supplied formatting documents. Ticket format information such as SKU conversion and UPC calculator are located on the DSW Merchandising web page. Vendors wishing to produce tickets internally will need to submit samples prior to application.
Vendors may also select a third party ticket provider to order tickets for company merchandise. Any costs related to ticket creation, production, or shipment are the vendors’ responsibility and not to be invoiced to the company. Vendors are responsible for administration and management of trading partner agreements with their selected service provider. The company does not recommend nor require the use of any particular service provider, but can provide assistance in the establishment of a ticketing program.
