What is GS1-128 for Logistics Labels?
A GS1 logistics label is what carriers, warehouses and retailers scan when a pallet or carton moves through the supply chain. Its top barcode is the SSCC-18 (AI 00) - a unique number for that specific pallet - and it can also carry the GTIN, batch and quantity of the product inside. This tool generates the GS1-128 barcodes for those labels so your cartons are readable by any GS1-compliant DC or 3PL.
Common Uses for GS1-128 for Logistics Labels
- SSCC-18 codes for pallet and carton labels

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SSCC?
An SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) is the unique 18-digit number in AI (00) that identifies one specific pallet or carton for its whole journey through the supply chain.
What goes on a GS1 logistics label?
Typically a supplier, an SSCC-18 barcode (top), and a human-readable area. Retailers and DCs may also require the GTIN (01), batch (10) and quantity (37) fields.
Do my logistics labels need GS1-128?
If your customers are retailers or large distributors, almost always yes - their DCs scan GS1-128 barcodes to receive stock automatically. Check your customer's label specification.
Can I batch generate GS1-128 logistics codes?
Yes, paste one GS1 string per line - SSCCs and case codes - and generate a full sheet of label barcodes.
