Where do I place the label on a carton?

There are different placement requirements depending on the label type. For trade unit (carton) labelling, all mandatory details must be printed (not handwritten) on adjacent sides of every level of packaging and be clearly readable from a one‐metre distance. For delivery labels that include the SSCC, the label must be positioned on the carton so that the lower edge of the SSCC’s lowest barcode is exactly 32mm from the base and no part of the barcode (including the light margins) is closer than 19mm to any vertical edge; the label should also be A6 sized and placed next to any pre-existing barcodes. For logistics (pallet) labels—which are not on the carton itself but on the pallet—the label is to be located between 400mm and 800mm from the supporting surface and at least 50mm away from any vertical edge.

Where do I place the label on a pallet?

For pallet logistics labels: they must be placed on the pallet between 400mm and 800mm from the surface on which the pallet stands and at least 50mm from any vertical edge. The barcode on this label must be printed in picket fence orientation. The label is normally in a standard A6 format (105mm x 148mm), although it may be made smaller if required. For delivery labels on cartons (with SSCC), the lower edge of the barcode must be exactly 32mm from the carton base and no part of the barcode (including margins) should be closer than 19mm from a vertical edge, with the barcode also in picket fence orientation and a minimum A6 size.
