Following requests from several of our members, we have made three improvements to the product data sheet that you can easily create in GS1Trade Sync and send to customers and trading partners, for example for product marketing. You can create as many product data sheets as you need, free of charge, directly in GS1Trade Sync.

At the bottom of this news item, you can also see how to create the product data sheet and how to link to it from your own website.

What improvements will you see in GS1Trade Sync?

In short, the improvements include more information on shelf life, nutritional content, and preparation instructions. This benefits you, your customers, and ultimately the consumer, the climate, and food safety.

Below, you can see an example of a product data sheet in GS1Trade Sync. The red circles highlight the additions we have made.

Details on the improvements and how to include them on your product data sheet

  1. Fields 3479 'Guaranteed shelf life from arrival' and 3480 'Total shelf life from production' you will automatically be prompted to fill in for food products. Field 3481 'Shelf life after opening' can be filled in if the information is printed on the product packaging.

  1. All fields you fill in regarding nutritional values and vitamins. This concerns fields 1241 and 1244. Previously, only energy, fat, saturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, of which sugars, protein, and salt were displayed, but we now give you the option to have all relevant nutritional values and vitamins printed on the product packaging shown on the product data sheet.

  1. Fill in field 940 'Preparation instructions', if you want the product's preparation instructions displayed on the product data sheet. Preparation instructions are used to explain to the consumer how the product can or should be prepared.

How to create a product data sheet

Select the item you want to create a product data sheet for by checking the box on the left, click "Export", and select "Product data sheet".

You can also click "Action" on the right side of the product and then "Product data sheet".

How to generate a link to your product data sheet

You can generate a link to the product data sheet, which you can use on a website or webshop, for example.

When you want to create the product data sheet (see instructions above), click "Public links" and then select the language you want the data sheet in. Then click "Copy to clipboard". The link will provide direct access to a product data sheet for the selected product.

If you update data in GS1Trade Sync, your data sheet is updated automatically - and you don't need to generate a new link.

We hope you enjoy these new improvements.
