News from Federal Process
Attached are the files showing the new display boxes for AP02 & SS02.
- SS02 will be packed 24/box (previously 36). In addition, SS02 will be packed in a display box (like WT25), and then into its own custom outer shipping box.
- AP02 will continue to be packed in individual unit boxes with direction sheets. However, going forward the unit boxes will be placed into a display box at 24 / box (like WT25 and new SS02 – although slightly larger due to the individual boxes). The new display box will then be packed into a custom outer shipping box.
