This revision of the B-10 Guideline describes the rules for bar code labels on unit loads and transport packages to convey data between trading partners. Both label and tag marking methods are covered in the B-10 under the general term label. The B-10 outlines the requirements for printing labels for unit loads and transport packages to ensure scannability of bar code symbols and to provide consistency of label formats. The physical parameters for Code 39 bar codes and physical attributes of the labels are also provided. Far too often the purpose of a shipping label seems to get lost in the process. The purpose of a shipping label is to facilitate the movement of goods and the exchange of data among all members within a channel of distribution (suppliers, carriers, customers, and others). The amount of data (bar code as well as human readable text) needed on a label is a function of the needs of the trading partners involved. However, when a bar code shipping label is used in conjunction with computerized databases and electronic data interchange (EDI), the amount of data needed on a label may be reduced significantly. The revised B-10 Trading Partner Labels Implementation Guideline should be much easier to use and understand. With the inclusion of the single-page commonized specification form it will be easier for customers to convey their requirements and for users to maintain the necessary documentation. The revised B-10 describes requirements for developing the Small Container Label (SCL) to ensure scan performance of the bar code symbols while providing consistency of label formats. Again, remember the B-10 is not a "label" but rather the methodology to design, specify, and communicate shipping label requirements.

A text building block or sub-block may contain text or graphics or both. rather than inches. This enables the printer of the label to determine the actual height and font of text for a given LPB.

A title may be used in a text building block. Unlike bar code building blocks, a title is not required in a text building block. 2. When a title is used in a text building block it shall be printed in the upper left corner of the building block or sub-block. Use of a title in a text building block is illustrated in Figure 5. Sans serif fonts (such as Arial or Helvetica) are preferred, but not required. If possible, a font which clearly differentiates the letter O from the number 0 (as with a dot or line in the number 0) should be used. See Figure 5. 3.

RECOMMENDED FORMAT FOR COMPLIANCE SPECIFICATIONS COMPLIANCE SPECIFICATION RULE INTERPRETATION Customer trading partners who require their suppliers to provide labels in compliance with this guideline should use the following format to document their label compliance specification. Following that should be a divider for each customer to whom that supplier ships. Supplier trading partners should keep a file of the B-10-based customer compliance specifications for their customers. The commonized approach to B-10 specifications requires that every supplier who must comply with B-10-based customer compliance specification create a "Label Compliance" three-ring binder. a master label. The single-page documentation format described in this appendix was designed by the AIAG Bar Code Applications Work Group to provide a commonized approach to creating documentation for customer labeling standards. The commonized approach requires that every customer provide a single page specification for each specific layout of B-10 label that will be required by that customer. Each type of label required by a customer should be documented on a single page. This format has been shown to support the documentation requirements of QS9000 and ISO 9000. the customer’s compliance specification would have three pages in it. if the customer requires a single-container label.

The SLA label was developed to more closely match label size to the container and to provide a more cost-effective labeling method.8. The following describes requirements for developing the label for Small Labeling Area (SLA) to ensure scan performance of the bar code symbols while providing consistency of label formats. SLA LABEL RULE What is a Small Labeling Area (SLA)? INTERPRETATION The heights and widths of bar-coded shipping labels being used today are often larger than the packaging. Often. These conditions can drive up costs and can affect the scan performance of bar code symbols. RECOMMENDED FORMAT FOR SMALL LABELING AREA (SLA) Designers of label segments are urged to plan no more than four building blocks per label segment. Also. This appendix does not attempt to define how small is small but to offer a method for labeling containers having labeling surfaces of thirty-six (36) square inches or less. Packaging often requires a container larger than necessary to make the bar coded shipping label fit the container. information contained in this appendix is not intended to replace any existing commercial B-10 81 Issue: 02 Dated: 02/00 Replaces: 01 Dated: 05/95 .
