<strong>AIDC</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> <strong>Implementation</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>3.5. Package HierarchyConsideration should be given to the hierarchy of packaging. Each level of the package hierarchypresents different printing challenges in labelling (e.g. space, substrate, production line speed, etc.).Each level also presents differing data information requirements: <strong>GS1</strong> Identification Key or <strong>GS1</strong>Identification Key plus additional data.The <strong>GS1</strong> System provides a variety of Data Carriers that will meet the combination of printing and dataneeds. This section will offer illustrations and examples.Figure 3-10 Package Hierarchy IllustrationNote: Pallets can be marked with either GTIN (following <strong>GS1</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> GTIN AllocationRules) or Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) identifiers (which is defined in Section 4.2).Table 3-1 provides examples of the different symbologies, coding options and information attributes foreach packaging level and the associated label size.Table 3-1 Package Hierarchy Examples<strong>Healthcare</strong> Product <strong>GS1</strong> Key * AdditionaldataEncoded information and <strong>GS1</strong> Data CarriersPrimary packaging(one pill in the blistercell)GTIN “1”Lot ABCExpiry date31-Dec-2010(01)07665431234566(17)101231(10)ABCSuggested <strong>GS1</strong> Data Carriers: <strong>GS1</strong>DataMatrix, <strong>GS1</strong> DataBaror(01)07665431234566Suggested <strong>GS1</strong> Data Carriers: <strong>GS1</strong>DataMatrix, <strong>GS1</strong> DataBarSecondarypackaging**(two blisters in onebox)GTIN “2”Lot ABCExpiry date31-Dec-2010(01) 07665433456781(17)101231(10)ABCSuggested <strong>GS1</strong> Data Carriers:<strong>GS1</strong>DataMatrix, <strong>GS1</strong>-128, <strong>GS1</strong> DataBarMulti-pack(7 boxes)This is only anexample of anotherpackaging levelGTIN “3”Lot ABCExpiry date31-Dec-2010(01)07665431234887(17)101231(10)ABCor(01)17665431234563(17)101231(10)ABCSuggested <strong>GS1</strong> Data Carriers:<strong>GS1</strong>DataMatrix, <strong>GS1</strong>-128, <strong>GS1</strong> DataBarIssue 1.1, Approved, Dec-2010 All contents copyright © <strong>GS1</strong> Page 17 of 33
