Guidelines for Product ID, Labels
and Shipments
(GPID)
Vital Items: Shipping Labels
Consistent shipping information presented on uniform and
legible labels enables best practices throughout the entire supply chain. This
section explains the elements of information that should be contained on
master-pack, inner-pack or storage cases used to ship product. If the shipment
is to be linked to an electronic document called an “advanced shipping
notice” (ASN), a bar code contained on the label is used to link the shipment
to the ASN number found on the electronic document.
What does this provide?
All of the material handling
functions can be improved and in some cases automated if there is uniformity in
packaging, labeling and documentation. Not only will handling costs be reduced
but administrative costs associated with shipping errors and damage can be
eliminated.
