Are GS1-128 barcodes only used on pallets?

Modified on Fri, 30 Aug at 6:13 PM

No, the tracking and tracing of logistic units, mainly pallets of goods, is a major application that uses the GS1-128 specifications.


However, GS1-128 is being used in a host of other supply chain applications including: 
  • The identification of trade units.
  • The encoding of additional information, beyond GTIN, on trade units, such as batch numbers, production date and best before date.
  • Tracking and tracing of returnable assets.
