GS1-128 (Pallet Labels)

GS1-128 pallet labels are used by 94% of the Danish grocery trade.
The barcodes on pallet labels are essential, but getting started can be challenging. The consequences can be significant if the correct information is not included on a pallet label or if it cannot be scanned. We help guide you through the process so your customer can easily receive your shipment.

Here you can find a quick guide to GS1 pallet labels in Danish and English.

Hvordan bestemmer du, hvilket præfiks (eller ID-pakke) du har brug for?

En identifikationsnøgle starter altid med et virksomhedspræfiks. Et virksomhedspræfiks er et GS1 ID, som du køber i Mit GS1. 
Der findes virksomhedspræfikser i forskellige længder: fra 7 cifre til 11 cifre lange. Det varierer efter antallet af numre, som du har behov for.

Præfikset suppleres med et x antal cifre for at opnå en identifikationsnøgle (for eksempel GTIN).

Jo kortere virksomhedspræfiks, desto flere frie positioner har du til at identificere produkter med. Med andre ord, jo kortere virksomhedspræfiks, desto flere identifikationsnumre kan du oprette. Dette kalder vi 'nummereringskapacitet'.

Det sidste ciffer er et kontrolciffer, der bekræfter, at koden er korrekt.

Information about GS1-128 pallet labels

In which situations can the GS1-128 barcode be used?

The GS1-128 barcode is typically used for labeling cases and pallets in logistics operations, such as warehouse or transport handling. The GS1-128 barcode cannot be scanned at retail checkout counters.

Labeling with the GS1-128 barcode, and the exchange of information it enables, forms the basis for traceability of products and shipments.

What data can the GS1-128 barcode contain?

While the EAN-13 barcode only contains a GTIN, the GS1-128 barcode can contain a wide range of information, such as production or expiration dates, weight, and batch numbers—typically information that varies each time the product is traded.

The information is encoded in the GS1-128 barcode using Application Identifiers (AIs) and their associated data fields. A single GS1-128 barcode can contain up to 48 alphanumeric characters.

GS1 Denmark recommends contacting your customer to agree on which information it is beneficial to encode in the GS1-128 barcode.
