Target publishes specific pallet and shipping requirements for suppliers. The table summarizes the commonly published rules — always confirm against the current routing guide before shipping; requirements change and vary by facility, and chargebacks enforce them.
| Requirement | Typical rule |
|---|---|
| Pallet type | GMA 48 × 40 in, 4-way, high grade |
| Max height | Per routing guide; keep stacks stable and square |
| Overhang | None permitted |
| Labels | GS1-128 carton labels; pallet license plate label |
| TI-HI | Uniform layers; mixed-SKU pallets flagged and labeled as such |

Target's expectations are set in its Partners Online vendor guides; ASN accuracy (matching cartons to the advance ship notice) matters as much as the physical pallet.
