SSCC labels
Unique pallet identifiers can be printed and applied at the final handling point.
Pallet labelling application
Plan pallet label application around SSCC data, scan position, pallet presentation and warehouse rules.
Buyer guidance
Pallet labelling application: what to confirm first
Pallet labels are often the final identification step before warehouse movement or dispatch. Reliable application depends on both the label data and the way the pallet is presented to the machine.
Pallet label content
- SSCC and GS1-128 barcodes
- Product, batch and destination data
- Warehouse route or location fields
- Customer-specific label formats
Application planning
- One, two or three-side application
- Label height and face selection
- Pallet stop position and orientation
- Scanner access after application
Practical specification points
These details usually decide whether the system works reliably once installed.
Multi-side labels
Two or three-side application improves scan access in warehouse workflows.
Label height
Choose height based on scanner line of sight and customer requirements.
Pallet variation
Different pallet heights and loads may need adjustment or controlled presentation.
Data feed
The machine can be planned around WMS, ERP, scanner or label software data.
Validation
Scanner checks can be considered where label readability is critical.

Questions buyers ask
Short answers for engineering, operations and purchasing teams.
Where should pallet labels be applied?
Placement depends on warehouse, customer and GS1 requirements, but scan visibility and pallet handling should be considered.
Can one machine label multiple pallet sides?
Yes, depending on layout, a pallet labelling system can be configured for multiple sides.
What is needed for SSCC labelling?
You need the barcode data, label format, label size, print quality and a reliable data source.
Can pallet labels be applied while the pallet is moving?
Some applications can be designed around moving pallets, while others need a controlled stop or indexing point.
