Mobile Barcobde scanning for custom labels, SSCC and GS-1 labels
Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) labels are labels positioned on the outside of a pallet or container which provide all the information in one label to provide freight visibility throughout the supply chain.
They are used as a globally accepted barcode, symbolizing adherence to the GS1 standards — making them extremely useful and very important to easily read and scan into your system. Through CartonCLoud’s barcode scanning on iPhone and Android devices, you can easily scan SSCC labels to enter into your system. (You can also generate and print your own SSCC labels through CartonCloud.)
