16 GS1-128 LABELS In today s business environment, GS1-128 (formerly known as UCC- 128) labels have become a necessary part of the criteria for large format retailers in automating the supply chain with their suppliers GS1-128 labels are an outer label affixed to each carton and/or pallet and provide information about a particular shipment This label will alert the trading partner about shipment information such as who the vendor / supplier is, carton content, store ship to location, etc, and is a mix of both human readable as well as scan able information The GS1-128 label on every carton is scanned at its destination location (eg trading partner central warehouse) and information usually is tied to an Advance Ship Notice (ASN) that has already been transmitted via EDI to the trading partner from the supplier
