Annexure – I – GS1 Barcode Standards for Bottles and
Cases
GS1 standards in general
provide interoperability, flexibility and
vendor independence which
in turn result in reduction in end
product costs to businesses and consumers. These widely implemented standards enable unique and universal identification
of products, assets, services, entities/locations,
data capture and seamless sharing of supply chain information between trading partners including
manufacturers/ suppliers, retailers and consumers. Flow
of physical supplies and data
sharing/querying also becomes faster, more accurate and seamless across multiple trading partners
in supply chains.
GS1 standards works on Identifiers, these identifiers combines with automatic identification technologies like Bar-Codes to establish
a connection between the physical entities involved in a supply chain and their related information.
Broadly, there are two types of identifiers:
1. GS1 Identification key,
For e.g.
GTIN, Batch #, Mfg. Date,
Unique Serial #,
2. GS1 Application Identifier, For
e.g.
(01) for
GTIN, (10) Batch
#, (11) Mfg. Date, (21) Unique Serial
#
Based on the symbol
used to encode data,
GS1
bar-codes can be categorized into two broad
categories:
1. GS1 barcodes with 1D/linear symbols which include:
European Article Number ( EAN) /Universal Product Code (UPC)
GS1 DataBar
GS1-128
Interleaved 2 of 5" (the Barcode Symbology used) and
14
digits (the length of the container symbol (ITF-14)
2. GS1 BarCodes with 2D symbols which include:
GS1 DataMatrix
GS1 composite component
As per project requirement, 1D GS1 128 barcode symbology shall be used
at
case/case level
and 2D GS1 Data matrix symbology shall be used
at Bottle level/Mono Case/Small Case

Extension Digit is used to increase the capacity
of Serial reference No.
with SSCC. It ranges from 0-9.
GS1 Company Prefix A globally unique number assigned to a GS1 member company
Serial reference – A global unique Number assigned
by
company.
Check Digit A modulo-10 number calculated across
the preceding digits
to
ensure data integrity.
Check Digit
Check Digit
is
computer
check
digit
which
makes
sure barcode
is
correctly composed. This calculation is
done by using Modulo 10 algorithm.
Here is how a mod10 check digit
is calculated:
1. For this example, we will
use
a barcode containing the data 12345678912. Starting from the left
side of the bar
code, add together every other digit,
ignoring the check digit. Add the first, third, fifth,
seventh, ninth,
and
eleventh digits:
1+3+5+7+9+2=27
2. Multiply the result from step
1 by 3:
27*3=81
3. Add together the remaining digits. Add the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth
digits:
2+4+6+8+1=21
4. Add the results of steps
2 and 3:
81+21=102
5. Find the minimum number which,
when added
to
the result from step 4, will
generate a number that is evenly divisible by
10:
102 + n = 110 n = 8
The number 8 is the mod10 check digit
for this
arrangement of
digits.

no space consideration.
Bottle/Mono Case/Small Case – 2D Barcode Label Size
The recommended
label size for 2D Barcode would be 2’’
(Length) x 0.6’’ (Width) on sticker with 15
mil Bar Code Size.
Each distillery has to ensure all
parameters of 2D barcode have been taken care for all current and future product launches
in new packaging.
Parameters for 2D Barcodes:
1. Barcode Dimension – as described in Section 2.2.
2. Label Size
- as described in Section 2.3.
3. Read Distance
- as described in Section 2.2.
4. Scanning on Low Visibility – Should work fine on the low visibility also.
5. Paper Type – Water proof, self destructive, smudge proof – Should preferably be Temper
Evident Label.
6. Glue Quality
7. Life of
Ink printed by printer – It should be 1 to 2 years.
8. Quality of Case Paper
PCR (Print Contrast Ratio) – Scanner should have minimum PCR of 25% so that it can read poorly printed barcode with low contrast between foreground and background.
Annexure – III – Scanner Specifications
2D Data Matrix is read by imaging
cameras devices. The principle is based upon
first capturing the image of
the symbol and then analyzing it.
This
is different technology from the one used by
many of the laser
scanners for reading the linear barcode symbol. A linear symbol can be read by a single
laser beam passing across
the length of the symbol. However, to read Data Matrix symbol requires
the entire image to be read in both the X and Y axis. 2D is considered to be having better readability
compared to
1D. It can be read from any angle and
side of scanning. In case of any minor damage to
the 2D bar code, the readability is still ensured.
Scanners will be used for
scanning the bottles/case during packaging of bottles and dispatch while uploading the cases on truck.
Distiller has to upload barcodes information of 1D for case and 2D for bottles in XML or excel format through
ESCIMS portal.
It is to be understood by the Distiller that the product features and specifications of the devices
recommended in the document for scanners are for reference only. Distillers have
to decide and
discussed with vendor to procure
and meet the requirement of 1D and 2D barcodes scanning.
To ensure the reliability of barcode scanning, it is recommended that scanner should possess
following features:
Comprehensive data
capture options — 1D, 2D, image capture
Supports for all major 1D, PDF, postal
and
2D symbologies
High Resolution of camera
Rugged Design
Tempered
Glass exit window
Multiple on-board interfaces and universal
cable
Omni-directional
scanning, wide
working range
Comprehensive connectivity options — including wireless, cordless and corded
High resolution high contrast color QVGA display
A good quality hand held digital image or mobile scanners (HHT) capable of scanning GS1 barcodes
(1D and 2D barcodes) possessing above mentioned
features should be used.
Annexure III - Printer Specification
Broadly, the packaging of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), Country Liquor and Beer bottles will be done in three stages in
bottling lines:
1. Primary Packaging
2. Secondary Packaging
3. Tertiary Packaging
Primary Packaging
Distillers are currently
pasting pre-printed labels on bottles
manually or printing information like batch number and
manufacturing date through inkjet printer on glued labels or through Thermal
Transfer Printer (TTO) on self adhesive labels.
For printing 2D barcode with other texts in human readable form like GTIN and Unique Serial
Number, Batch Number and Manufacturing Date, the
following printers are recommended for inline printing on online conveyors.
1. Thermal Transfer Printers (TTO) for self adhesive labels
2. Inkjet Printer for glued labels
3. Print and Apply (PA) for Metal
Can
In case of offline printing Thermal Transfer printer for self adhesive labels with resin ribbon shall be
recommended.
It is to be understood by the Distiller that the product features and specifications of the devices
recommended in the document for printers are for reference only. Distillers have to decide and
discuss with vendors to procure and meet the requirement of 1D and 2D barcodes printing.

Annexure – IV – Tamper Evident
Labels
Material Description: Specifically designed for corrugated boxes having
rough
surface, dust and
high
moisture content. It is highly effective for manual application of the labels or
where no applicator being used. Also, where the storage of
boxes is
improper so that label does not peel off.
The evident properties are derived from top layer, which
is semi gloss white, co-extruded film consisting
of
an expanded polystyrene layer with a
clear polystyrene surface film. The top coat is highly receptive to thermal printing as it is having matt finish. The total calliper of material is being
0.145mm with difference of
plus minus 10%.
Adhesive:
A highly aggressive permanent rubber
based
adhesive featuring
high
initial
tack and
excellent
ultimate bond strength to a wide range of substrates. The Adhesion is equally effective for Manual as well as Auto Application of
the Labels.
Minimum Application Temperature: + 5o C
(The minimum temperature at which
the label can be applied and will adhere)
Service Temperature Range: - 20o C to + 70o C
(The temperature range to which
the label can be exposed after the adhesion bond to the substrate has
been formed)
Application:
Typical applications include product identification labels on various types
of corrugated boxes and glass containers. The moderate internal strength of the face allows the product to be used as a
tamper evident label. The label can also be used as a shrinkable seal by using heat after application. Adhesive is in compliance with FDA recommendations, where incidental contact between food and
adhesive may be possible.
Conversion:
This product can be printed in
the usual printing technologies; for variable information printing
thermal transfer and inkjet
printing can be used. It’s recommended
to
use Resin Ribbons for
Thermal
Transfer Printing for better outcome.
Customized security cuts are also advised according to label size, to enable a better view of temper
evidence if
label is tried to be peeled off from the substrate.
It has also been observed
that the bigger the label
sizes provide better adherence due to larger
bonding area and increase the material effectiveness.
Material should be handled
with great care; rough handling may leave permanent impressions
in the relatively soft face stock.
Shelf Life: Two years when stored
at 22o C
