SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) is an identification number for, for example, a pallet, package, or other type of shipment. Each individual shipping unit must have its unique SSCC number, even if it contains the same products.

To generate the 18-digit SSCC code, you use the company prefix (7 to 11-digit number) that you receive when purchasing a GS1ID subscription via My GS1.

1. Find your company prefix via the platform GS1Trade Activate under the menu item “Overview”
2. When generating a GS1-128 pallet label, you must enter an SSCC code. The first one must be calculated manually. Read more about the structure of a pallet label and how to build an SSCC based on the 7-11 digits here
3. In the future, when you create more GS1-128 pallet labels, the system will remember the last SSCC code you used and inform you of the next one.

We recommend that you record each time you have used an SSCC and for what purpose.
