Vendor Standards Manual - Saks Incorporated

• Required information (see GS1-128 example):
1. Vendor name/address
2. Saks Fifth Avenue operating company name/address (i.e., Saks Fifth Avenue, OFF 5TH)
3. Ship to postal code
4. Purchase order number
5. Department number
6. Saks Fifth Avenue designated store number (FUTURE: VICS EDI Product Group description.)
7. 20 digit serial shipping container code (barcode and human readable)
• Affix your GS1-128 Shipping Container Label on the longest side of the carton, not on the front. Ensure the
label is placed upright (not sideways). It should be scanable, at least an ANSI “c” grade. Do not place it on a
seam or around the corners of the carton. If your shipping carton is less than 4” in height (e.g., dress box), wrap
the top of the label over (ensure the UCC/EAN-128 20 digit serialized shipping container code is positioned
within band as per standard so it is scanable) or affix it on the top of the box as per our illustration.
• One GS1-128 barcode label per carton.
• Do not affix additional 20-digit barcode label another than GS1-128.
• If your shipping carton is also displayed on the selling carton, DO NOT COVER the product model number,
UPC code, or any other consumer identification information, with the GS1-128 label.
