Bulk Generate GS1-128 Barcodes
Learn how to generate thousands of complex GS1-128 logistics barcodes in bulk. Encode SSCC, batch numbers, and expiration dates instantly.
Dynamic Supply Chain Data
When operating a large-scale supply chain, tracking pallets and shipping containers requires more than just a simple product ID. You need to encode dynamic data like the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC), Batch/Lot numbers, expiration dates, and net weight.
The global standard for this is the GS1-128 barcode (formerly UCC-128). It uses Application Identifiers (AIs)—such as (00) for SSCC or (10) for Batch Number—to chain multiple disparate pieces of data into a single, highly dense barcode.
Automating Label Generation
Manually configuring the invisible FNC1 control characters required for GS1 compliance for hundreds of shipping labels every day is impossible. A bulk GS1-128 barcode generator automates this entirely.
Using a Bulk Barcode Generator simplifies the logistics workflow:
- Format your shipping manifest in Excel, concatenating your AIs and data strings (e.g.,
(00)123456789012345675(15)251231). - Paste the thousands of rows directly into the bulk generator.
- Select "GS1-128" as the symbology. The software automatically handles the FNC1 character injection.
- Download a ZIP file containing every barcode as a high-resolution PNG image.
Thermal Printer Ready
The resulting high-contrast image files are perfect for sending to your high-speed thermal label printers (like Zebra, Sato, or Rollo). These printers will rapidly spool out the continuous roll of paper sticker labels, ready to be slapped onto pallets heading out of the loading dock.
