Precise Labeling and Packaging

WSI has the ability to provide box-level detail to you and your customers through the use of unique package identification standards from the Uniform Code Council (UCC).

WSI is experienced at meeting the precise label standards and packaging requirements of large retailers. WSI is a full service provider offering complete third-party UCC-128 labeling services as a value-added service for businesses that need to adhere to barcode regulations.

UCC-128 labeling can be scanned at the warehouse as well as at the recipient’s facility. This enables workers to identify the contents of a carton or pallet without the need to open the packaging and count items by hand. This standardized format is used by distributors, manufacturers, and retailers as part of their electronic data interchange (EDI) systems. Information included on these labels contains the origin, destination, and contents of each shipment. Other details these often feature include a PO number and the carrier code.

Benefits of UCC-128 Labeling and Barcodes

Increased efficiency

Without the need to open boxes or unwrap palletized cargo to identify goods, users on both ends of the supply chain can keep shipments moving quickly and without delays.

Greater accuracy

Because all of the data about each carton is centralized through EDI, there can be virtually no confusion about which shipment belongs where.

Full compliance

Many businesses need to follow regulatory guidance regarding the use of barcodes for accountability and public safety.

Customer satisfaction

Having shipments arrive on time and efficiently helps keep costs down and inventory levels in scale with demand. This, in turn, leads to more satisfied consumers.
