Nicelabel – GS1 Understanding Global Trade Item Numbers

Creating GTINs for

cases and pallets:

GTIN-14

For products that are not intended for sale at checkout, but represent
levels of packaging for shipping, use GTIN-14 and compose the identifier
the following way:

Assign the indicator digit found at the beginning of the GTIN-14
1
– this is not connected to GTIN-12. It relates to packaging levels
identified in the GTIN-14.
Indicator Digit Calculation: Indicators one to eight for items with

higher levels of packaging such as a case or pallet. Indicator nine is
for variable measure items, where case weight can vary (eg cheese
items).

2 Use GS1 company prefix.

Item reference number is assigned by the brand owner. Combined
3 length of your UPC company prefix and item reference number

should be 11 digits and it is suggested you create sequential

numbers, not build another logic.

Check digit is always the last digit of GTIN - calculated from all
4
the other numbers in the GTIN and guarantees that the GTIN is
accurate. Use data driver to calculate the check digit from GS1
website.
