1 Beauty Pre-Labeling Guide DIRECT LABELS All Direct POs receive a 3x3 Label to be placed on the front center of a clear and sealable polybag o The polybag must be equal to or greater than the size of the 3x3 label In some cases, products packaged in individual boxes might be able to accommodate the 3 x 3 label on the center back of the box without requiring an additional polybag. Boxed items MUST be polybagged if the 3 x 3 will obscure ANY images or product information on a boxed item. All merchandise that is shipped in a polybag with an opening greater than 5 needs to have a warning label on the bag that states the following (or something similar): Warning: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages or play pens. THIS BAG IS NOT A TOY When ordering direct labels through Checkpoint or FineLine, they will print the 3x3 label for the product, as well as a job label next to it. Do not use the job label. Only use the 3x3 product label. [Product Label] [Job Label] Example [Front] [Back] *Note Warning and COO markings

2 For tubular shaped products, such as shampoos and hairspray, the label must be placed with the barcode running lengthwise with the tube. Example

3 RETAIL LABELS Examples Retail orders receive a smaller label (less than 1x1) o This should be placed on the item itself over any existing UPC barcode o Do not place label on the bottom of the item or package o Make sure the label does not cover any important product markings

4 **FRAGILE MERCHANDISE** All ceramics, glassware, and other fragile items are required to be tested to ensure that the packaging will meet the drop test requirements (see chart below) without affecting the product. If the packaging is negatively affected, this indicates that there is not sufficient protection for the fragile goods and therefore, will result in a chargeback. Direct orders: Be sure to bubble wrap individual items before placing in in the polybag. The 3x3 direct label needs to be on the outside of the polybag. Do not place the direct label directly on the product. Please see below for examples of proper packaging. Retail orders: Be sure to be sure to bubble wrap individual items. You do not have to place the items in a polybag. The less than 1x1 retail label needs to be placed on the product itself. Do not place the retail label on the bubble wrap or polybag. Please reference page 3 for proper labeling placement. **Protective bags can be orders here:
