Boxed for Scale: Why Wholesale Prep & Case Packing Can Make or Break Your Retail Growth
In the fast-moving world of eCommerce and retail distribution, scaling up isn’t just about selling more—it’s about packing smarter.
If you’re shipping pallets to Amazon, fulfilling PO-based retail orders, or feeding wholesale channels like Walmart or Target, your backend ops need to be bulletproof. And that starts with wholesale prep and case packing done right.
Why It Matters
Retailers and marketplaces don’t mess around with compliance:
- Wrong barcodes? Chargebacks.
- Overweight cartons? Rejected shipments.
- No carton-level labeling? Delayed replenishment.
Wholesale prep and case packing aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re the difference between flowing into retail channels like a pro or getting bottlenecked at the dock.
What Is Wholesale Prep?
Wholesale prep is the process of getting your inventory retail-ready:
- Carton inspection
- Label application (UPC, FNSKU, SSCC, GTIN, etc.)
- Case consolidation
- Custom packing lists
- Palletization
It ensures that your shipment meets the exact specs of Amazon, Costco, CVS, or whoever you’re selling to.
Case Packing: Your Retail Compliance Lifeline
Case packing means putting a defined number of identical units into a single master carton. That might sound simple—but each retailer has their own rules:
- Amazon: Max weight of 50 lbs (or 30 lbs for certain categories), barcode on one side, no overhang.
- Retailers: Often demand EDI-backed packing slips, label formats, or even GS1 barcode standards.
We help brands set this up once and scale it flawlessly—no more guessing, no more manual rework.
