How to order data in GS1-128

Product, batch, date and serial values must use the correct GS1 Application Identifiers.

What this page helps you do

Product, batch, date and serial values must use the correct GS1 Application Identifiers.

Checks and steps

  1. List the GTIN, batch, date, serial number and other required business values.
  2. Select the GS1 Application Identifier for each value.
  3. Use the required data length and date format.
  4. Handle variable-length fields and separators correctly.
  5. Scan the real symbol and confirm that the business system parses every value.

Scope and verification

Do not concatenate fields only because the barcode can be generated. The encoded syntax must match the current GS1 rule and partner expectation.
