Mike,
We treat the bar code on the single unit as DIFFERENT than the bar code for the multipack. Our usual issue is being sure that our multipack package design helps hide those single unit barcodes. Now, this is in food, where we sell through club knowing that some club customers ARE buying multipacks for resale in a small business that they own or operate.
We also have a standard way we call out what is contained in the multipack on the multipack package. For instance, that format on a 4-pack of Chili Beans reads "NET WT. 4-16.0 OZ (454g) CANS" on the first line, and "TOTAL NET WT. 4 LB (64 OZ) 1.82 kg" on the second line. I hope that helps in some way.
Thanks,
Robby
