Can GS1 DataBar symbols be used in General Distribution?

Modified on Fri, 30 Aug at 6:23 PM

Yes, but only on trade items, not on logistic units. 


For example, many large items such as televisions are scanned during transport and also at the retail Point-of-Sale.  


GS1-128 barcodes are the only symbols allowed to be used on the logistic label.
