Global Logistic Labeling Framework

What is Barcode (UCC-128) Labeling?

Barcode (UCC-128) labeling, legally known as GS1-128, is a highly structured, alphanumeric barcode standard utilized globally to communicate complex product and delivery information directly on pallet and carton tags. Unlike standard retail consumer UPCs, the UCC-128 utilizes precise Application Identifiers (AIs) to encode shipping container numbers (SSCC), order numbers, lot codes, weights, and dates within a single high-density barcode format, enabling complete digital automation at distribution docks.
