Barcodes Available in GS1 US Data Hub

The EAN-13 is only available in GS1 US Data Hub for members who have licensed a GS1 Company Prefix for GTIN-13s with GS1 US, or for members who have imported Global Company Prefixes via the Enterprise Settings, then used the GDSN Harvester tool.

How to Download the Image:
The product should be set to the In Use status. First, view the product detail record, then click the View Barcode button.  You can download your barcode symbol in either EPS or PNG file format. 

Note:  EPS files can only be opened with specialist design software, and will retain resolution regardless of scale. A PNG is a standard image file format that is compatible with most applications. 

The Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) is an 18-digit GS1 Identification Key used to identify a logistic unit. The SSCC is different from the GTIN, as the SSCC acts as a license plate to track a shipment of logistics units through the supply chain. The GTIN uniquely identifies trade items (products and services).

It is possible for a trade item, such as a pallet, to be a trade item AND a logistic unit, so both a GTIN and an SSCC may be used. The SSCC is encoded in the GS1-128 barcode and included on the GS1 Logistics Label (a sample is shown here), making it possible to track the logistic unit in transit, and locate this unit within a storage area or warehouse.

You cannot create the SSCC in GS1 US Data Hub. View a list of GS1 Standards Professional Barcode Image and Print Vendors to help you generate the SSCC in a GS1-128 barcode. The SSCC is typically generated out of the logistic management system, e.g. the warehouse management system. 

Please note that if you have licensed a GS1 US GTIN instead of a GS1 Company Prefix, you cannot create the SSCC.
