Printing SSCC labels

Printing SSCC labels

How can you print SSCC labels you have created?

Homogeneous pallets

The default size of an SSCC label is A5 (148 x 210 mm). On one pallet, place two identical SSCC labels on both sides of the pallet.

Heterogeneous pallets

Each layer of a mixed pallet or heterogeneous pallet is considered to be an independent logistic unit. Therefore, each layer of a heterogeneous pallet must be identified with its own unique SSCC label.

Single or double layout?

During the SSCC label implementation you can choose the layout you require: double A5 or single A5. This choice is determined by the type of paper used in your printer.

If you use a roll of A5 labels, you will need the single A5 layout. If you use A4 sheets (Avery 3655) with two A5 labels on each A4 sheet, you will need the double A5 layout.

Printing SSCC labels

If you have selected the double A5 layout, you print the label created by the API once and get two identical A5 SSCC labels. You can place these labels on both sides of the pallet.

If you have selected the single A5 layout, you print the label created by the API twice to get two identical A5 SSCC labels. You can place these labels on both sides of the pallet.

More information on SSCC

We have a knowledge database on our site www.palletlabel.com which contains all the information you need on SSCC codes, the GS1 standard, the SSCC label and more.

You can even create an example GS1 logistics label using the available demo.

EDI API Connection

The SSCC Label API can be combined with the EDI API connector.

The EDI API connector communicates all EDI messages such as DESADV, ORDERS and INVOIC with your trading partners based on the data in your IT system.

Data delivery can be done in any format you’d like. We’ll handle the transformation, validation and routing of your messages.

On top of that we’ll ensure the messages meet the GS1 standard and all requirements set by you and your customers. Fast, secure and accurate.
