GS1, Retail & SSCC Labels
GS1-128 carton labels, SSCC pallet license plates, UPC/GTIN retail labels, and item-level RFID (SGTIN) built to your retail partner's compliance spec.
Overview
Retail and grocery partners enforce strict GS1 label standards — and a rejected shipment is expensive. We produce GS1-128 carton labels, SSCC pallet license plates, UPC/GTIN retail labels, and item-level RFID encoded to SGTIN, all built and verified to your trading partner's exact specification.
What GS1 compliance requires
GS1 standards define how identifiers are encoded and where they appear so any partner can scan them. Application Identifiers (AIs) wrap each data element — (01) GTIN, (00) SSCC, (10) batch, (17) expiry — in GS1-128 or GS1 DataMatrix.
How we produce them
We build the label to your partner's placement, size, and symbology rules, then barcode-verify grade and encode RFID where mandated.
- GS1-128 carton/case labels with correct AIs
- SSCC (00) pallet license-plate labels
- UPC-A / EAN / GTIN retail unit labels
- Item-level RFID encoded to SGTIN-96 for RFID mandates
- ANSI/ISO barcode grade verification on every run
