The packing box code of pharmaceutical logistics distribution consists of “pharmaceutical logistics distribution identification code” and “pharmaceutical logistics distribution additional attribute information code”.
Pharmaceutical logistics distribution identification code is a mandatory option, and the medical product identification code is used when it indicates the storage and transportation of packaged medical products, and it is used when it indicates the medical products of the logistics unit.
Pharmaceutical product identification codes are GTIN-13 or GTIN-14 codes.
Logistic unit identification codes are serial shipping container codes
The additional information code for pharmaceutical logistics distribution includes the GTIN, production date, expiration date, etc. of the global trade item in the logistics unit. The additional information coding is used by the application identifier AI in combination with the information content, and should be associated with the medical logistics unit. For the application identifier, see GB/T16986.
GS1-128 barcode, the data characters of the combined medical logistics unit additional information code cannot exceed 48 characters bits (with application identifier). See GB/T16986 for specific meaning, and GB/T15425 for GS1-128 barcode symbols.
Barcode label The label text content is above the label section, and the barcode is below the label section, where the SSCC barcode symbol should be at the end of the label lower end.
There is at least one barcode label printed with barcode symbols on each complete logistics distribution box; the barcode symbols should be placed horizontally so that the bars of the barcode symbols are perpendicular to the lower edge of the vertical surface.
