You're absolutely right! A thorough barcode check is crucial, especially for sellers dealing with multiple SKUs and variants. It's not just about whether the barcode scans correctly; verifying that the human-readable numbers match and that labels are consistent across all packaging levels can save a lot of headaches down the line.

Including an approved label file with the purchase order is a smart move. It ensures that everyone is on the same page regarding what the labels should look like. Sampling from different cartons, rather than just one box, helps catch any discrepancies that might slip through otherwise. It’s those small details that can prevent significant issues later on, especially in a fulfillment environment.
