Additional Shipment Information

Warehouse Shipments

Wegmans leverages SSCC pallet labels to facilitate the inbound process.

  • An SSCC Pallet Label (Serialized Shipping Container Code) is an Industry Standard & GS1 approved method of communicating contents of a specific pallet of product.
  • There should be two SSCC labels clearly visible and affixed on the front and side of the pallet, with the label on the top third of the pallet.
  • Pallets should be organized and tagged appropriately to ensure timely and safe product handling within a Wegmans DC.

Pallets with multiple items

  • Pallets containing multiple items on the same pallet must be separated by a pallet for each item and labeled accordingly with a unique scannable SSCC pallet label per item. (See picture example.)
  • Mixed expiration dates or lot numbers for the same item on a pallet are not permitted. Each new lot code or expiration date should be loaded on a pallet with a unique scannable SSCC pallet label per date and lot.
  • Human-readable details are required on the GS1-128 case labels to include lot, catch weight, item description, expiration date, and Certificate of Origin (CoO).
  • For catch weight items only, the pallet catch weight should be indicated on the SSCC pallet label or BOL.

Mixed Pallet Example

SSCC Pallet Label Example

Cross Dock and Quick Response Shipments

(not including GMDC warehouse 102 QR)

Cross Dock pallets are built store ready by our supplier. These pallets are destined and labeled for a specific store. This process involves an entire pallet of one or more items (rainbow pallet) flowing through the DC and being merged in whole with an outbound truck for store delivery. No case handling is required at the DC.

Shipping Requirements

  • Pallets configured as “store ready” for Cross-Docking should be organized and tagged appropriately to ensure timely and safe handling of product within a Wegmans DC.
  • If ordered quantities do not assemble into a full 72 cube pallet, it is acceptable for pallets to be “decked,” provided adequate labeling and product conditioning can still be met.
  • Pallets destined for different stores should each have their own pallet label (example label shown below) and be separated by a pallet.
  • Pallets should be marked as “mixed product” to ensure proper segregation at a Wegmans DC.
