Manufacturers of disposable bingo cards must establish marketing units that are complete and contain the correct number of cards or packets they have chosen. Manufacturers must complete a packing slip for each set of cards or collation of packets and either enclose it inside the shipping container or in an envelope attached to the container. Additionally:
(1) Manufacturers must label each marketing unit in a way that allows the contents to be determined without opening. The label must include, at least:
(a) Serial number or, if packets, serial number of the top page; and
(b) Color and border pattern or, if packets, color and border pattern of the top page; and
(c) Number of the carton and the total number of cartons included in the marketing unit.
(2) If the marketing unit contains more than one container, manufacturers must include the packing slip in or attach it to the first container. The packing slip must include:
(a) The manufacturer's name; and
(b) Descriptions of the product, including the "series," "on," "cut," and "up"; and
(c) The records entry label that matches the I.D. stamp; and
(d) The serial number or, if packets, the serial number of the top page; and
(e) The color and border pattern or, if packets, colors and border patterns of all sets and the collation sequence; and
(f) A record of any skips (missing cards, sheets of cards, or packets); and
(g) The number of the carton and the total number of cartons included in the marketing unit.
(3) Manufacturers must mark the specific cards or packets on the marketing unit packing slip. Manufacturers may have a margin of error up to one percent, as long as they document all missing cards, sheets, or packets on the packing slip enclosed in the first container of the marketing unit. We prohibit shipping of marketing units with a margin of error greater than one percent.
