GTIN
Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

GS1Trade Image is an image service facilitated by GS1 Denmark. GS1Trade Image is based in Ballerup together with GS1Trade Exact.
GS1 Denmark's imaging service is developed and maintained in collaboration with GS1Trade Services Working Group and Steering Group with input from GS1Trade Sync Members. There is also cooperation with both European and global GS1 groups in relation to general maintenance and updating of the image standard.
GS1Trade Image service is used by suppliers and retailers in the Danish market who are active in GS1Trade Services Working Group and Steering Group.
We offer 6 different image options. Images are delivered under normal conditions within 10 (normal handling) or 5 business days (Express handling). In the case of the possibility of promotional options in the order, there may be other conditions such as longer delivery times.
To be able to order images through GS1Trade Image, first of all, it requires a membership with GS1 Denmark and a service subscription to GS1Trade Image.
Right of use over images taken by GS1Trade Image belongs to the member whose company the images are uploaded to in GS1Trade Sync. The copyright belongs to the photographer (cf. Danish law).
GS1Trade Image does not maintain or delete images in GS1Trade sync. However, previous images with the same name will be overwritten when using the service. See more about terms and prices under GS1Trade Image.
In order to GS1Trade Image can provide the ordered product photos, it requires that the product in question has been created and published in GS1Trade Sync.
Product pictures from GS1Trade Image reflects the physical products delivered. Therefore, as far as possible, avoid unnecessary use of tape etc. on the submitted products (especially ready-to-sell assemblies), as in the worst case it may make it impossible to take usable product images.
Products that can be prepared will not be cooked and they will be photographed as delivered.
GS1Trade Image can assess that enveloping plastics and the like are removed from the product to obtain a satisfactory image without glare.
To define what is the default front of both basic units, packages and ready-to-sell packages, GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard | GS1 Clause 4.2 is used. After this, GS1 Product Image Specification Standard | GS1 is used.
All products, regardless of their actual shape, are perceived by the standard as having 6 sides.
The primary front (front page) is defined as the marketable surface from information such as brand name, product name, and consumer information as net content. If there is no clear front, then it is the flat with the largest area. If both faces have the same area, the highest side indicates the primary front.
Once the front page is defined, the rest of the pages are defined based on it.
Once front (Front) is defined, sides, bottom and top can be determined.
Image naming tells what kind of image it is, what angle it is taken from, what orientation the image has and how the product is presented. E.g. C1N1:
The angles of CGI images are named in the same way as physical images. In addition, an “R” is added to the CGI image after the other file extension, e.g. GTIN.C1N1_R so that the image can be differentiated from the normal images.
Naming follows the guidelines laid out in the GS1 Product Image Specification Standard.
Image Standard contains high-resolution images and planogram images of all 6 pages, as well as 2-3 rotated and/or augmented supplementary images.
A total of 9 different high-resolution images are provided in both JPG (with active clipping path) and PNG file formats. Further, between 6 and 8 planogram images are provided. All images are uploaded to GS1Trade Sync, from where they can be retrieved.
In some cases, extensive graphic post-processing is required to ensure optimal image quality. This can be by major scratches, skewed composition of packaging or by other defects. It is at the discretion of the photographer whether this is necessary and this triggers a graphic post-processing surcharge.

Image Standard applies only to the product in packaging.

Notes: If you have welded bags that stand up and where the same bag is used for many different products, it is difficult to ensure great uniformity in how the image appears. If great uniformity is important, we recommend making use of CGI images, which you will find further down.
When ordering for GTIN in conjunction with Image Standard, images are delivered from the same angles as for the base unit. Below are pictorial examples of collier units:
With Image Standard Plus, it is possible to obtain high-resolution images at predetermined angles that are beyond what is included in the Image Standard image package.
In addition to what is included in the Image Standard image package, here you get the option of 2 self-selected angles, which are delivered as high-resolution images in both JPG file format with clipping path and exposed in PNG file format.
To know the difference between the original Image Default image and the selected image, the selected image is named with “_s02”.

Computer Generated Images (CGI) allow you to get images of the product before it is produced. It is also ideal for products where the packaging is difficult to take pictures of, such as welded bags.
CGI creates a professional-quality digital marketing image based on the artwork and dimensions of the product.
This means that you can get great looking and likable images as soon as the product artwork is in place, so it can potentially get to market faster.
It is possible to order CGI images of all sides/angles plus rotated left, rotated right and raised front.

Welded bags can be difficult to photograph neatly due to reflections, uneven welds, and unstable shapes. Therefore, using CGI (Computer Generated Images) often gives a much better result.
Examples of poses where CGI can be an advantage:

In order to execute an order, it is assumed that the product has been created as a minimum draft in GS1Trade Sync.
These images are delivered as high-resolution packshot in both JPG file format (with clipping path) and PNG file format (uncut). The high-resolution images are named with an _R to distinguish them from the regular product images. In addition, a planogram image, which is named on a par with the regular planogram image, is provided for use in space systems.
If you have associated a photographer yourself, GS1 can certify that photographer as an approved photographer. This is done by GS1 reviewing what requirements and specifications the images should meet, and then checking images of 10 products. Upon approval, the photographer will obtain certification and be able to upload images in GS1 himself Trade Sync, which is automatically forwarded to the data recipients. The images will appear with sender.

A high-resolution image is an image of a product in very high quality, which can be used for a wide variety of purposes where visual presentation is important. These images are ideal for marketing, e-commerce, packaging documentation and printed matter.
A planogram image is a low-resolution product image typically used for visual planning and presentation of store shelves. It is optimized for layout and space management purposes, not for marketing or e-commerce.
