OPWA Guidelines for Product ID, Labels and Shipments (GPID) Vital Items: Shipping Labels Consistent shipping information presented on uniform and legible labels enables best practices throughout the entire supply chain. This section explains the elements of information that should be contained on master-pack, inner-pack or storage cases used to ship product. If the shipment is to be linked to an electronic document called an “advanced shipping notice” (ASN), a bar code contained on the label is used to link the shipment to the ASN number found on the electronic document. What does this provide? All of the material handling functions can be improved and in some cases automated if there is uniformity in packaging, labeling and documentation. Not only will handling costs be reduced but administrative costs associated with shipping errors and damage can be eliminated. Vital Items
