TRAFFICMASTER CARTON END EXAMPLE - **BRAND:** TrafficMaster - **COLOR:** Medium Red Oak - **MODEL:** MRO004 - **STORE SKU:** 610-300 style (older) - **UPC:** 12 digits under the barcode - **RUN / LOT:** printed on some cartons Example TrafficMaster label fields from the sources below. Your carton may show fewer. ## Which number is which TrafficMaster is a Home Depot house brand. Different factories made it over the years, so the carton layout changes from line to line. What stays the same is the set of store numbers Home Depot uses, and the model string printed beside the color name. | On the box or receipt | Looks like | Example from reader cartons | | --- | --- | --- | | Model string | Letters and digits beside the color | HL704 MRO004 WAL00NC | | Store SKU (older) | 3 digits, hyphen, 3 digits | 610-300 195-982 | | Store SKU (newer) | 10 digits | 1002241674 (LifeProof example) | | Internet # | 9 digits, on homedepot.com | 300461633 | | UPC | 12 digits under the barcode | 765894165180 | | Pattern number (vinyl tile) | TM plus digits | TM373 TM379 | FlooringFX has not found a TrafficMaster carton-label document from Home Depot or its suppliers. Everything below comes from Home Depot product pages and from what readers have copied off their own boxes. ## What Home Depot shows online A current homedepot.com product page lists the Model # and the Internet # near the product title, and shoppers quote the store SKU in the questions on the same page. For a discontinued TrafficMaster color the page is often gone, so the carton end and your receipt are the record. Write the model string as printed and keep any hyphens. > Model # I114813L · Internet # 300461633 As shown on a [live Home Depot product page](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lifeproof-Seasoned-Wood-6-MIL-x-Multi-Width-x-48-in-L-Click-Lock-Waterproof-Luxury-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-19-53-sqft-case-I114813L/300461633) (LifeProof example, checked November 2026) ## Colors readers ask about, with photos Identification photos for TrafficMaster colors that already have a Pattern Guide. Compare the grain and tone with your floor, then check the model string.

Home Depot’s LifeProof instructions say to check “the pattern, color and batch numbers on the carton” and to blend planks from several boxes, and that is sensible for any laminate repair. Lay a spare plank next to the floor in daylight before you buy.

Copy both. 1. **Separate the store numbers** A 3-3 hyphenated number (610-300) or a 10-digit number is the store SKU. A 12-digit number under the barcode is the UPC. 1. **Check the line** Original, Dimensions, Allure and Hampton are different products, even when the color name matches. 1. **Photograph the end panel** Shoot the whole label in daylight before you post it on Match. **Short a few boxes, or holding spares?** Post the model string and a carton-end photo. When spare boxes are listed, FlooringFX checks them against every open request. Asking is always free.

Is that the same as MRO004?** Yes. Readers often type a zero for the letter O. The carton string for Medium Red Oak is MRO004. **Is the UPC the same as the SKU?** No. The UPC is the 12-digit barcode number. The store SKU is Home Depot’s stock number, and the Internet # is its web catalog number. **Why does my color have two SKUs?** Home Depot renumbered some products, and some colors came in more than one size. Sarasota Oak shows up as both 627671 and 851-334 in reader comments. Match the plank, not just the number. ## Also useful [All brands in the decoder](https://flooringfx.com/decoder/) [Dye lots and batch codes](https://flooringfx.com/dye-lots-batch-codes-leftover-flooring-match/) [What to photograph on a carton](https://flooringfx.com/photograph-flooring-carton-for-match/) [Same color name, different brands](https://flooringfx.com/flooring-name-collisions-same-color-different-brands/) ## Sources - [Home Depot product page, LifeProof Seasoned Wood (shows Model # I114813L and Internet # 300461633)](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lifeproof-Seasoned-Wood-6-MIL-x-Multi-Width-x-48-in-L-Click-Lock-Waterproof-Luxury-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-19-53-sqft-case-I114813L/300461633) ## Have TrafficMaster boxes, or need some?
