DSW EDI Carton Packing – Master Carton Packing Method

When merchandise is purchased that does not meet minimum carton size or weight requirements, cartons need to be “masterpacked” (carton within a carton) for ease of shipping and handling. The following guidelines outline the acceptable method to be used for “masterpacked” merchandise:

  • Identify the outside of the master shipping carton by writing or labeling “MASTER CARTON” on the outside of every master shipping carton (all four sides and top of case).
  • All prepacked merchandise utilizing master shipping cartons must contain a single PO, style, and color. Merchandise ordered at the size and dimension level will need to be packed into master shipping cartons by PO, style, color, size, and dimension.
  • Mixing of POs colors, sizes or dimensions is not permissible.
  • All master shipping cartons must have a visible sequence, (e.g. 1 of 10, 2 of 10…10 of 10), and the inner cartons may also use a numbered sequence.
  • The master shipping carton must comply with the minimum requirements listed above.
