- Cartons and pallets must be individually numbered (e.g. 1 of 50, 2 of 50, 3 of 50, etc.) to ensure all goods are accounted for.
- Mark shipping cartons and pallets containing glass or breakable items appropriately (fragile, this end up, etc.).
- Barcodes must be scannable and texts must be legible on carton and pallet labels.
