Shipment Preparatin The ability t efficiently prcess shipments f cartns thrugh ur autmated facilities is highly dependent n vendr cmpliance. Nn-cmpliance results in additinal time and labr t expedite merchandise thrugh the supply chain. 4.1 Pre-pack PO Guidelines What is a Pre-Pack? Pre-pack is a predetermined assrtment f a style. A pre-pack cnsists f a size array fr a given item cmmunicated in the purchase rder as a single shipping unit. PO Details Hw t identify if yur rder is a pre-pack? TPM will list the pre-pack descriptin as well as the units per pack fr the specific size. This infrmatin will als be included in the Purchase Order print ut. 13

14 Packing Prcedures Pre-packed quantities shuld be ply bagged as ne as stated n the PO. D nt ply bag each individual unit inside f the master ply bag. There is n limit t the number f pre-packs in ne case. Merchandise preparatins fr flding guides are t be fllwed as utlined in sectin 10. Pre-Pack Label Placement When rdering price tickets, FineLine will prvide a rll cntaining a pre-pack SKU labels nly n POs with pre-packs. The pre-pack SKU label is required in the middle f the master ply bag fr thse cntaining pre-packs. 14

15 Crrect lcatin fr Pre-pack SKU Sticker. The sticker ges n the utside f the master ply bag. This pre-pack cntains multiple units. If the purchase rder has nly ne pre-pack per cartn, pre-pack label must be placed n the tp crner abve the TPM label. 4.2 Cartn Dimensins Cartn size and weight requirements are established t maximize prduct flw. The requirements listed belw apply t all cartns shipped t ur Distributin Centers. It is imperative that cases d nt deviate frm these specificatins as cases t large will nt pass thrugh ur cnveyr system and cases t small will nt scan. Dimensins Length Width Height Weight Minimum 12 inch. (30 cm.) 12 inch. (30 cm.) 6 Inch. (15 cm.) 2 lbs. (1 kg.) Maximum 26 inch. (66 cm.) 19 inch. (48 cm.) 12 inch. (30 cm.) 40 lbs. (18 kg.) 15

16 Smallest Case Dimensin: 12 in (30 CM) Lng x 12 in (30 CM) Wide x 6 in (15 CM) Tall Largest Case Dimensin: 26 in (66 CM) Lng x 19 in (48 CM) Wide x 12 in (30 CM) Tall 4.3 Cartn Cnstructin & Sealing Always use sturdy quality cartns. Inferir cardbard and under r ver packed cartns may either cllapse during transit r adversely affect the scanning capability f labels. 4.4 Material Restrictins Due t the sensitivity f the autmated material handling equipment in ur facilities, vendrs may NOT use the fllwing materials t seal the exterir f each cartn: Twine r String Staples r any ther metal bjects may cme lse. Straps r bands tend t slacken and get caught in the mechanized equipment. 4.5 Cartn Labeling T easily identify, srt and prcess the prducts, we require that each cartn be prperly marked and have an riginal TPM label prperly placed. Due t the fact that cases are first acknwledged in ur system after the TPM barcdes have been scanned, it is essential that the infrmatin prgrammed int each label EXACTLY matches the cntents f the case. Shuld any new items be added t a previusly labeled cartn, vendrs are respnsible fr printing a fresh and accurate TPM label. While printing TPM labels, as a vendr yu shuld: Use self-adhesive labels that are 4x5 inches fr laser printers r 4x6 inches fr label printers. Self-adhesive labels fr laser printers, such as Avery label 5353, may be purchased frm any ffice supply stre. Refrain frm using labels printed n regular paper and applied t cases with tape, as they d nt cmply with ur scanning technlgies and will result in a chargeback. 16

17 Ensure that TPM barcdes are printed with 100% quality. Barcdes that are faded, cut ff, r have bvius imperfectins will nt scan prperly and result in a chargeback. While placing labels n the cartns, please nte that: Altering infrmatin printed n the TPM labels with pen, white ut, r any ther means des nt affect the infrmatin stred in the barcdes and is thus, an unacceptable alternative t printing a new label. N barcde ther than the TPM label shuld be printed n the length side f the cartn. A single TPM label shuld be placed n ne length side nly. Duplicate barcdes f any srt n either length side cause rejectin in the autmated reading system. Cartn markings are unnecessary but permitted. Any labels r barcdes intended fr manufacturing purpses must be limited t the width side f the case, r therwise cvered with blank, slid stickers r defaced prir t shipping. TPM labels must be placed securely in the tp right hand crner f the length side s that the edges f the label meet the crner f the cartn. Reference the image belw. Please bserve that the label is als placed straight up and dwn, nt at an angle. If yur cartns are equal in length and width, apply the TPM label n the side in which the tp flap pens twards the label. Failure t apply cartn labels crrectly will result in a chargeback f $10/per case (minimum $100). Please see Chargeback Table 7.4, Cde Cartn Packing Instructins We understand that smetimes packing and/r prtective materials are necessary t ensure prper presentatin. Hwever, in an effrt t be envirnmental friendly, cut yur csts and reduce labr fr all parties, we are requiring that vendrs d nt use any excessive r unsustainable packing material that we are bliged t remve at ur Distributin Centers r stres. We insist that while fllwing a packing prcedure, vendrs cnfirm that: Items with the same SKU are packed in bulk per case. The barcde n each price ticket is visible, even when items are nt individually ply bagged inside a pre-pack, as we prcess merchandise thrugh ur DC by SKU number. 17

18 Cases are t cntain merchandise frm ne PO nly. 4.7 Ply Bag Warning Labels All individually ply bagged merchandise shuld have all the fllwing warning labels in bld and in black ink. This includes items in bth internet and stre stck POs. English Spanish French Canadian WARNING T avid danger f suffcatin, keep away frm babies and children. D nt use in cribs, beds, carriages, r playpens. THIS BAG IS NOT A TOY. AVISO Para evitar peligr de asfixia, mantener fuera del alcance de ls niñs y de ls bebés.

Ne pas utiliser dans les crèches, lits, landaus u parc a bébé. CE SAC N EST PAS UN JOUET. Exceptins: Master ply bags r ply bags with multiple items that are used nly fr the prtectin f items during the shipping and handling prcess d nt require this label (fr example master pre-pack ply bags). Ply bags smaller than 5 x5 in size d nt need the warning label. The fnt size fr the warning must be bigger fr larger bags, as fllws: Ttal Length + Width (inches) Fnt Size Greater than Pint 40 t Pint 25 t Pint Less than Pint 18

If multiple POs are stacked n the same pallet, separate the POs by using a slip sheet r cardbard. 19

20 T facilitate the systemic receiving prcess, please shrink wrap the pallet with the TPM labels facing utward. Only when a vendr must emply an excess f pallets t accmmdate illfitted cartns while fllwing this instructin, can a vendr be allwed an exceptin. In this case, the vendr shuld stack as many cartns with labels facing utward as their structure and pallet allws. If an rder cntains pre-packs, thse must be stacked n the tp f the pallet. Due t bth the height restraints n trucks and weight limitatins f cartns, pallets shuld nt be stacked higher than eight (8) feet. Pallets cannt be duble stacked. Pallets must nt be laded int the trailer sideways preventing the receiving team frm unlading the pallets with a pallet jack. If laded sideways, vendrs are subject t Chargeback Pallet Requirements T streamline the receiving prcess, vendrs are required t use fur-way stringer pallets. An example f a fur-way stringer pallet: Fur-way blck pallets are nt required, but preferred if available. 5.3 Freight and Ruting Plicy Our standardized freight and ruting plicy will supprt shipping t multiple DCs when necessary.

Cnslidatin Prgram All dmestic/ddp (Delivery Duty Paid) vendrs shipping TN POs frm within CA are eligible fr ur Cnslidatin Prgram.
