SSCC labels for Carrefour

A pallet bound for a supermarket chain passes through a distribution centre where it is scanned on arrival. The label carries the entire goods receipt there: if the SSCC is wrong, the shipment drops out of automatic processing.

The French market has a sector agreement on the shipping label, drawn up inside the GS1 France logistics committee together with the distributors and manufacturers. Part 1 covers carton marking and applying the étiquette d’expédition. That is the starting point below — not a labelling instruction from this customer.

Note: a starting point, not a specification. Which fields must end up on the label is for Carrefour to state in its own labelling instruction. We work from the GS1 standard for the logistic label and from what is common in this trade. Send us your customer’s instruction and we record the label type per trading partner, so the tool then picks the right layout by itself — even when one shipment goes to several parties.

What we do

We produce the label: the SSCC from your own GS1 company prefix with the correct check digit, the mandatory fields with their data titles, and GS1-128 barcodes at least 32 mm high. You get a print-ready PDF, one at a time or a whole shipment at once.
