GS1-128 · SSCC pallet labels
GS1-128 and SSCC labels from real batch data. The barcode is easy. The data behind it is the product.
Any label tool can draw a GS1-128 barcode. The hard part is what the barcode claims: the GTIN, the batch in AI(10), the dates, the SSCC serial — all matching the physical pallet and your dispatch paperwork, every time. Keystone generates case and pallet labels from the same records that drive your dispatch notes, so the label, the pallet and the paperwork can't disagree.

Proof points
In one glance.
- SSCC serials generated and tracked per pallet — no reuse, full history
- GS1-128 with the AIs retailers expect: GTIN, batch/lot (10), dates (15/17), weight
- Label data comes from the dispatch record — no re-typing, no mismatch
- Designed in-app, tested against real scanners before first live dispatch
Why labels fail at the depot
Rejections are data mismatches, not print quality.
When a retailer depot rejects a pallet, it's rarely the barcode's print density — it's the data: an SSCC that duplicates a previous delivery, a batch number on the label that differs from the dispatch note, a date format the depot's system won't parse. These are symptoms of labels generated in a separate tool from separate keystrokes. Keystone's labels render from the dispatch record itself: the batch is the batch that's actually on the pallet, the SSCC is issued once from a tracked sequence, and the dispatch note quotes the same identifiers — because they're the same data.
Was Sie bekommen
The full case-and-pallet labelling layer.
- SSCC management — Serial references generated per pallet from your GS1 company prefix, never reused, with a full history of what shipped under each.
- Retailer-specific layouts — Label formats configured per customer against their supplier manual — logotypes, field order, human-readable sections.
- Catch-weight support — Variable-weight AIs carry the actual weights from the dispatch record — matching your COA and invoice.
- Traceability built in — Every SSCC links to its batches, so a depot query quoting only a pallet number resolves to the full chain in seconds.
Practical honesty
You bring the GS1 prefix; we make it work.
You need your own GS1 company prefix (from GS1 Ireland or GS1 UK) — that's a membership, not software. Keystone consumes it: GTIN allocation records, SSCC sequences, and label rendering are then handled in-app, and we test against real scanners during implementation before anything ships. Labelling is part of the standard licence, not a paid module.
FAQs
Frequently asked.
Do I need a GS1 membership?
Yes — SSCC and GTIN identifiers derive from your own GS1 company prefix (GS1 Ireland or GS1 UK membership). Keystone manages the sequences and rendering once you have it.
Which application identifiers are supported?
The set retail supply chains use: SSCC (00), GTIN (01/02), batch/lot (10), dates (11/15/17), quantity (37) and variable-weight AIs. Layouts are configured per customer requirement.
Can labels handle mixed pallets?
Yes — a pallet can carry multiple batches and products; the SSCC record knows its full contents, and depot-level queries resolve to everything on it.
What printers work?
Any printer that accepts standard label PDFs; direct thermal workflows (Zebra et al.) are configured during implementation and tested with your scanners.
Is this a separate module or extra cost?
Included in the standard €790/month licence, like every module. Retailer-specific layout configuration happens during implementation.
