SSCC labels from Beewea are high-quality and compliant with industry standards.
To ensure efficient delivery, millions of pallets and other units must be accurately identified every day. Logistics companies use Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) labels to track and identify their assets throughout the journey, ensuring seamless distribution.
Even a minor mistake can have massive consequences for your supply chain when you fail to use clear, durable, and industry-compliant SSCC labels. We offer premium-quality SSCC label printing to businesses across Australia at Beewea. Below you will find more information about these labels.
SSCC labels: what are they?
The SSCC label is a transport unit’s unique identification code, similar to a registration plate. There are several different types of information contained within the SSCC.
SSCC numerical fields include: an Extension Digit (any number 0-9) generated by the constructor; the sender’s GS1 Company Prefix (seven or nine digits in length); a Serial Reference that is unique to the specific transport unit; and a Check Digit that confirms the code’s integrity.
The SSCC barcode is usually formatted as a GS1-128 barcode, which is helpful in logistics because it can capture batch numbers, weights, quantities, etc., which can enhance distribution efficiency. In addition to GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 QR Code, Electronic Product Code (EPC) and/or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, other formats may also be encoded.
The advantages of SSCC labels
Companies can maintain simple yet efficient logistical processes by automating. Many benefits can be obtained from SSCC labels, including automated identification of logistical units.
- Human error can be reduced
- Provide quick identification of transportable products
- Provide logistical units with fast and efficient processing
- Improve the tracking of units across a distribution network
- Increase the amount of data captured, such as batch number and quantity.
- It is easy to print, apply, and remove SSCC labels
- Labels for SSCCs can be standardised to meet global transport requirements
SSCC labels that comply with the GS1 standard and are accurate
Every GS1 transport label in the logistics industry must include an SSCC. Both barcodes and text are required to display this information. GS1 is considered the global standard for logistics and transport. With the GS1 system, units can be accurately identified, traced, and tracked throughout a distribution network. By using an accurate SSCC barcode on a logistical unit, it is possible to cross-reference it with its associated electronic information.
SSCC labels are commonly non-compliant in these areas
Non-compliant SSCC labels can delay the delivery of your goods. Maintaining vigilance in the following areas can help prevent supply chain disruptions:
Quality of printing and labeling
To achieve optimum print quality, you need the right type of label. A logistics label with inferior labels will result in poor print quality, poor scanning of the data, and inefficient processing. To ensure that a label can withstand external factors, such as sunlight, temperature, moisture, etc., it is also essential to select the right type of label.
Barcode format that is non-compliant
Barcodes encoded on SSCC labels are typically GS1-128. Even though other encoding formats are applicable, it’s important to use labeling software that generates GS1 barcodes, such as BarTender, to avoid incorrect barcodes. A GS1-128 barcode encodes the SSCC.
Errors in information
By serializing and barcoding labels, you can prevent duplication and distribution errors. By maintaining a database of label information, such errors can be further reduced by checking label information.
