GS1-128 barcodes are used to encode trade item data for logistics units such as cartons, cases, pallets, and returnable assets that are not intended to pass through retail point-of-sale (POS). The use of this symbology supports fast and accurate tracking of inventory, adding visibility to your value chain.
Specific information can also be encoded in GS1-128 barcodes to add security and sustainability to your value chain. Best Before Date, Batch/Lot Number, Serial Number, the GS1 System’s Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) are examples of the data that can be encoded in a GS1-128 barcode.
The combination of unique identification and standardized data content make GS1-128 barcodes invaluable for sharing rich data content between trading partners across wide sectors in the value chain, bringing retailers, healthcare providers, manufacturers, and logistic service providers together to collaborate and improve the value chain.
