Walmart® marking and coding requirements

Understanding the specifications for cases and trays

As a Walmart® supplier, you know how challenging it can be to comply with their marking requirements. Videojet can help by evaluating your current marking processes and equipping your operation with high-resolution printing technology – either print and apply labeling or large character inkjet – to comply with Walmart® case and tray marking requirements.*

Walmart case-level coding requirements

Codes are required on at least two sides of a case, one being the longest side.

It is generally assumed that code requirements for trays match the requirements spelled out for case-level coding for most products. See the required contents above.

Print directly on the tray when possible. According to Walmart® specifications, only if the dimensions of the item limit the information that can be clearly printed on tray walls, a label may be used instead of direct printing.

Place labels on two opposite sides above the tray wall (on plastic wrap). Keep in mind that required markings are product dependent.

Videojet recommends that you refer to the latest case marking specifications provided directly to Walmart® suppliers by Walmart® to help ensure compliance.
