1 Non Footwear Packaging Standards Genesco distributes purchases orders in two separate ways. GENESCO VENDORS ROUTING GUIDE Warehouse Orders Shipments consigned to our warehouse for distribution to stores by Genesco. Direct to Store (Drop Shipments) - Shipments distributed directly to the stores from the vendor s warehouse. Packaging Standards PACKAGING STANDARDS - GENERAL PACKING INSTRUCTIONS When packing non-footwear items in cases, the following requirements must be satisfied: Cases must be sealed with tape on the top closure. Do not use staples for the top closure. Do not glue the top closure. Do not use straps or bands to secure cases. Do not tape or label over any case marking and / or labels. No shorts or substitutions without prior approval. Only one purchase order, size, and stock number may be packed in a case. If there is not enough of a particular size to completely fill a carton, a mixed size carton will be allowed, but only one mixed carton per shipment. All accessories/apparel must be individually poly-bagged. All specified inner-packs must be poly-bagged or boxed together. Must have a UPC barcode label on the outside of the poly bag. All merchandise must have price tickets. If price tickets are not provided by vendor, buyer must be notified. Metal Staples 1. Do not use metal staples to seal individual shipping cartons. 2. Metal staples are acceptable for carton construction (manufacturing joints), but not to seal cartons after packing (see next figure). Figure 5 Staples on carton Page 1

2 Strapping 1. Metal strapping or plastic strapping with metal clips is prohibited. 2. If strapping is required, fused plastic straps must be used. 3. Shipping cartons can in no way be attached together, either with straps or with tape. Solid Wood Packaging Materials 1. The use of solid wood packaging materials, e.g. wooden pallets, is strictly prohibited for all shipments. 2. If solid wood packaging is used, the forwarders have instructions not to accept the shipments. 3. The invoice must include the following statement: We hereby declare that no wood packaging material accompanies this shipment. PACKAGING STANDARDS DIRECT TO STORE CARTON PACKING INSTRUCTIONS When a direct to store (drop shipment) distribution is indicated on the purchase order, the following requirements must also be met: 1. Direct to Store (Drop Shipment) merchandise is to be packed by store, with the quantity, style, size, and color as stated in the purchase order. 2. Package each purchase order in separate cartons. Do not combine multiple purchase orders in one carton. 3. If the PO contains multiple styles, they may be packed in a single carton. 4. Do not under-pack cartons. Ideally, each store's assortment should be contained in the least number of cartons possible. 5. Do not use metal or plastic bands or straps; cartons must be of a construction that will withstand transportation handling. 6. Individual cartons cannot weigh less than 5 lbs. or more than 50 lbs. 7. Carton count identification by purchase order: for example, PO# , 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3. All oversized packages must have prior authorization from the Corporate Logistics Department.

3 Carton opening must be at the top of the largest surface area. Top Opening 14 Deep 19 Wide 21 Long PACKAGING STANDARDS SOLID CARTON MARKINGS In addition to the UCC-128 bar coded case labels, all cartons must be marked with the following information: Genesco Style Number Style Name Genesco Purchase Order Number Size Quantity Carton count identification by purchase order: for example, PO# , 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3 Solid External Carton Markings Top Genesco Style # Alternate Style Name Classic placement P.O. # for carton Height Size S markings Quantity 12 Carton 1 of 3 Width Length Carton markings should be easily read from a distance of at least three feet. (Approximately half-inch to one-inch lettering must be used.) Special handling notations are to be included on the carton if applicable: FRAGILE, HAZARDOUS, PROTECT FROM FREEZING, PROTECT FROM HEAT, FLAMMABLE. Other non-asn labeling or carton markings must be removed or blacked out so that the above listed information is readily identifiable. Case Label Instructions EDI Vendors Only The purpose of the UCC-128 label is to connect the physical units of a shipment with the electronic information. Scanning the UCC-128 label and electronically matching it to the information in the ASN file does this. Once this is accomplished and verified, we are able to acknowledge the shipment, and book the shipment into our inventory. Page 3

4 Industry standards state UCC-128 numbers should not be reused within 1 year. Genesco strictly prohibits reuse of UCC-128 numbers within 12 months and recommends 24 months. UCC-128 labels are to be applied to the cartons in the following manner. (See diagram below). For actual case label, refer to the UCC-128 label listed under the EDI section. Apply one label, which includes the SKU information, to each case or apply an additional case contents label if first label doesn t include case contents. Position the 4" x 6" label on the "SIDE" of the box in the lower right hand corner, 2" from the bottom edge and 1" from the side edge. (See Example) If 2 nd case contents label is applied, it should be positioned next to 1 st label on the right bottom side of the case. Labels should be vertical, with the bar code in picket fence orientation. Horizontal tilt should be less than 5%. Affix labels using the self-adhesive backing. Do not use tape. Ensure the labels are smooth so the bar code can be scanned. Do not photo copy labels and apply them to cases. When labels as printed do not exactly match the contents, DO NOT USE THEM. Contact for replacement labels. Do not alter the information printed on the labels. If you apply the Genesco case labels and discover they are incorrect, cover the bar code, black out the bar code or remove the labels.

All products must be properly ticketed, packaged, and packed prior to being shipped to our distribution center. All products should follow the specifications and requirements set forth within this manual and any additional buyer instructions. We reserve the right to charge back for any merchandise arriving at our distribution center that has been incorrectly ticketed, packaged, packed, or labeled, as specified in this manual and/or purchase order.
