New Zealand Physical Packaging Hierarchies Products are represented by item records for each physical unit relating to the product: Base Unit or Each lowest hierarchy. In retail this is typically point of sale. Inner Unit multi-packs of base/each units items. Inner packaging items. Case Unit used for shipping between vendors and their trading partners. May contain a quantity of a single consumer unit, or a configuration of inner or base/ each units. Others: DISPLAY_SHIPPER, PREPACK, MULTIPACK, SETPACK, PREPACK_ASSORTMENT, MIXED MODULE, PALLET, The physical relationship of these items constitutes a Product or Packaging Hierarchy. 2010 GS1

ENSURING YOUR PRODUCT IS IDENTIFIED
New Zealand 6 bar codes Which to scan? Do 6 go out for the price of 1? 2010 GS1
New Zealand Right GTIN, wrong symbology (a Codabar - only readable normally in blood banks & libraries; never at the POS!) 2010 GS1
New Zealand Not a retail bar code - will not scan at POS 2010 GS1
New Zealand No background - will not scan 2010 GS1
New Zealand Unreadable, tiny bar code 2010 GS1
New Zealand EAN-128 (logistics) bar code (cannot be scanned at POS) & two bar codes visible (one on each can - which to scan?) 2010 GS1
New Zealand Reversed bar code (& very truncated) - will never scan! 2010 GS1
New Zealand Barcode Verification (conformance testing) The technical process by which a bar code symbol is measured to determine its conformance with the specification for that symbol PLUS Compliance with GS1 specifications regarding symbology selection, colour, size, location, etc. 2010 GS1
Why your customers require GS1 Barcode Verifications New Zealand To ensure your products scan right the first time Bad scanning products leads to: Inefficiencies at Point of Sale slowing down processes and creating cost Negative customer experiences effecting revenue generation Associating products against incorrect or default sales codes, which leads to issues with category and inventory management, which in turn impacts their/your revenue. 2010 GS1

Current Trends & Initiatives Hardware: Call To Action Barcodes on All Packaging Hierarchies
New Zealand Industry Call to Action HGAG Call To Action For Aus Market, GTINs and Barcodes on All Packaging Hierarchies Primary Retail/Rural Trader Sector Supplier to barcode all new products, for both retail and trade, in accordance to GS1 barcode and quality standards 2010 GS1
New Zealand What is required from suppliers? 1. To assign Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) to all levels of packaging for a product 2. All new products introduced to the market must be physically bar coded on all levels of packaging with GS1 compliant bar codes 3. Hardware 1. All existing products in the market must be physically bar coded on all levels of packaging by December 31, 2010 2010 GS1
New Zealand Next Steps Although at this stage Aus specific it should be implemented in NZ as best practice (Hardware). Review your product information and determine which products need GTINs Do you put Bar Codes on all levels of packaging? If unsure, contact your trading partners to discuss Need help with GTINs & Barcoding, contact GS1 NZ Allocate GTINs to all levels of packaging Communicate new product information with your trading partners When introducing new products, include bar coding on all levels of packaging 2010 GS1
