*METRC UPDATE*
Keep in mind that ALL inbound units must include the METRC Retail ID printed on each unit, per the State of New York. Please do not split items on METRC. If you are sending 100 units of a SKU, there should be 1 METRC Line with 100 units on it. Please do not send multiple METRC UIDs for 1 SKU. Additionally, please do not create a separate UID for each Case Pack; all Case Packs for a single SKU should share 1 METRC UID.
OVERVIEW
The following case pack labeling guidelines are for the Nabis intake process of all inbound products that will adhere to Nabis’ Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) distribution model.
ITEM CREATION
The brand will be required to input the following in the Nabis Portal. These inputs must remain constant per SKU. Any changes/adjustments to the pack/case quantities will require a new SKU to be created. Order creation will only allow for orders to be placed in Case Pack Quantities.
Failure to meet the above requirements for Case Pack and Master Case labeling will result in a delay in your intake.
LABELING: The chart above is a guideline for the required label information needed on each label location. All labels must be placed on the side primary location for clear visibility with a minimum of 16pt font.
In order to meet the compliance requirement regarding regulation 15048.5, case packs must include both the Metrc UID listed on the physical product, as well as the Metrc UID being sent to Nabis. (Code 128 Barcode only - this is a link to a free online tool you could use)
DEFINITIONS, GUIDELINES, AND EXAMPLES OF THE ITEM CREATION INPUTS
EACHES OR INDIVIDUAL UNITS
An Individual unit is the sellable quantity of a SKU. Intended for direct customer sale. All order quantities and inventory ledgers on Nabis represent individual unit quantities and are only able to be ordered by their respective SKU’s Case Pack quantities. For example a SKU of pre-rolls packaged in Inner Packs of 20 will only allow for order intervals of 20 (20, 40, 80, ... 200) in that order. This will eliminate the need to ‘casebreak’ in the distribution process and ensure that packages arrive at the retailer in the same state they left the manufacturer.
Nabis will no longer allow for the sale of individual units (with the exception of samples created on their own unique SKU, detailed below)
Nabis Receiving will only be received by Master Cases
Samples must be received in Case Pack and then ordered against in individual units
CASE PACK
A Case Pack is the sealed container that individual units come in from the manufacturer in a set number of quantities per Case Pack and is designated upon item creation in Nabis.
The Case Pack quantity is the interval of which orders will be placed for a respective product and so should reflect a viable Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) that is desired. For example, if you expect to sell as little as 8 units consistently, a good Case Pack would be 8. If orders typically order 24, 48, or 96, a good Case Pack quantity would be 24
Case Pack quantity will be required upon item creation in Nabis, and products packed in totes or plastic bags are NOT considered case packs/master packs.
Case Packs remain sealed from manufacturer to retailer and are never opened by Nabis throughout the distribution process (receiving, shelving, picking, packing, and shipping) (with the exception of samples and routine verification upon receipt)
MASTER CASE
A Master Case is the sealed container that Case Packs come in from the manufacturer in a set number of quantities of Case Packs per SKU (popular quantities range from 4-32 inner packs per Master Case). For example, pre-rolls that are in Case Packs of 20 units and fits 10 Case Packs into their Master Case, the quantity of each Master Case is 200.
No master case should exceed 50 pounds. Anything heavier should be palletized.
The Master Case quantity is the interval by which wholesale orders are typically received and backstored. Master Case quantity will be specified upon item creation in Nabis.
PALLETS
All Master Cases are required to have total unit quantities on the label, along with total master packs that are on a pallet.
Pallets can be a maximum height of 6 feet (72")
Full pallets are shrink-wrapped for the entire pallet (not mixed items)
Mixed pallets have a visible space and dividers separating the different product cases
Brand must provide the total number of cases for a full pallet
CASE SIZE DIMENSIONS
Upon product creation, Nabis requires accurate Length, Width, Height, and Weight of all case packs. This information informs everything from truck assignments to warehouse space reservation. This information is audited upon receipt and we reserve the right to reject products that have inaccurate information.
**In any case where labeling is required, there is a $0.30 fee charged per unit.
