Which ISBN should be displayed on the outside of cartons (case packs) containing multiple copies of a specific book?
Cartons should be labeled with the same human-readable ISBN used to mark the books inside. If you are marking your books with only a human-readable ISBN-10 (pre 01/01/07) or only a human-readable ISBN-13 (post 01/01/07) then only the human-readable ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 should be printed on the product label. Conversely, if you are marking your books with dual human-readable ISBNs (i.e. both an ISBN-10 and an ISBN-13 printed above the bar code and on the copyright page) the product label should be marked with dual human-readable ISBNs as well.Please remember, however, that regardless of the format used to print the human-readable ISBNs on books and carton labels, the expression of the ISBN within the Bookland EAN bar code remains the same. [See DEIG Carton Labeling Guidelines, page 6, for more information].
