UCC-128 labels are vital to trading in an EDI environment because they serve to bridge the gap
between EDI document transactions and the actual cartons.
Direct EDI, Inc. has recently expanded their UCC-128 Label Service. In addition to selling label stock
Direct EDI, Inc. offers three different UCC-128 solutions to satisfy their customer base and help keep
them in compliance with their retail trading partners:
This option included free of charge with EDI service consists of downloading a data file that can be fed into label
software and printed in house. Label software, stock, templates, and a
printer are needed to achieve compliance with this option.
Pre-Printed Labels
This solution is available for suppliers who do not wish to print labels in-house. After creating an
ASN in the web-based EDI system, customers select the labels to be printed. Direct EDI, Inc. will
print the labels for the customer and ship them within 24 hours of order placement.
PDF Functionality
Using this method the UCC-128 labels can be downloaded in PDF format and printed on various types of equipment,
including laser printers and more robust solutions, such as thermal printers. This alternative offers the
flexibility and convenience of printing labels onsite.
Label Stock
Direct EDI, Inc. now offers label stock at over 30% off of retail prices. Each legal sized sheet holds 4 UCC-128
labels specifically for use with laser printers. For customers with thermal printers, Direct EDI, Inc. offers thermal
printer stock in rolls of 1000.
Since UCC-128 labels require adherence to strict standards, Direct EDI, Inc. has taken the necessary steps to ensure
that all of their label templates have been approved by the individual retailers. They have been through extensive
testing to ensure that label templates contain valid and accurate information and are compliant with Trading Partners
requirements. UCC-128 labels have been a common source of chargebacks for many companies because of incorrect or missing data.
Ensure that you have the proper solution in place for your company.
