Overview
This documentation will outline the standard label format used by Hi-Trans Express.
Procedure
Barcode Format
The above is the standard Hi-Trans label format with the prefix YC being a standard for all of our customers.
- The Barcode ID is a prefix that Hi-Trans uses to identify the correct barcode mask/format
- Item Number identifies each item on the consignment, for example, if 4 pallets are on the consignment, the label on pallet 2 of 4 should read YC02XXX
- Consignment number is the full consignment number of the movement.
Please note customers who require a three digit item number will need to use the YZ prefix instead of YC, for example YZ001HET12346
Ideal Label Design

- Item number and count (1 of 2) (Large text)
Traditional Barcode Format
The Traditional barcode format that is used is code 128, this barcode is a necessary requirement to ensure label scannability.
Data Matrix Format
The 2D barcode is a 20x20 ASCII DataMatrix, this barcode is not essential however it is preferred to have this format on the final label design.
