Can I Put “Not for Individual Sale” Products in My Gift Baskets?
Yvonne asks:
“I purchased four bags of candy that were combined in one package, and when I opened it, a label on each bag said that the product was not be to resold individually. Am I wrong to put each bag into four different gift baskets?“
Manufacturers often add such labeling to their products to persuade variety store retailers from buying certain products in bulk and then separating the product for individual sale.
If you visit flea markets or swap meets, you’ll also see “not for individual sale” labels on some products.
This is understandable. However, if you are not buying products packaged this way on a regular basis, then it’s okay to separate the products for individual inclusion in your gift baskets.
If these are edible products, make sure the expiration date is still valid, and also peel the “not for individual sale” labels from the items before including them in your gift baskets.
To buy products that are packaged and ready for resale (no extra package wrap to throw away), visit GiftBasketWholesaleSupplies.com and OrganicWholesaleSupplies.com for manufacturer and wholesale sources designers count on regularly.
