UCC128 LABELS
In todays business environment, UCC128 labels and carton markings have become a necessary part of the criteria in order for vendors to do business with different trading partners.
UCC128 labels are pressure sensitive labels that are affixed to each carton or pallet and provides information about a particular shipment. This label alerts the trading partner to shipment information, such as the vendor, carton content, store ship location, etc., and is a mix of both readable and scanned information. The UCC128 label on every carton is scanned at its destination. This information usually is tied in to an Advance Ship Notice that has already been transmitted via EDI to the trading partner.
UCC128 labels follow a specific guideline as set forth by the trading partner and contain information which adheres to the UCC (Uniform Code Council) and EAN (European Article Numbering) standard guidelines. This information helps to aid your trading partners to identify you automatically within the global supply chain. By using the UCC128 label, vendors become compliant for trade throughout the world and across industry channels.
The most notable feature of the label is the SSCC-18 (Serial Container Shipping Code) found on every UCC128 label. The 20 digit number, readable as well as scannable, allows a trading partner not only to identify you as a vendor, but also provides information regarding a unique sequence for each carton. An example is shown above.
