GS1 Trade Item information<\/a> is a standardised way for sellers and buyers to exchange digital trade item information. GS1 Trade Item Information is also used to exchange, among other things, logistics, market and sustainability information. If you need to send or receive trade item information you can find information about the Swedish implementation of GS1 Trade Item Information in the Trade Item Information Guideline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are a solution provider or a recipient of trade item information, you also need, in addition to the guideline, the technical documentation found under Current

Specification Standard provides technical rules and guidelines for digital product images. It specifies how to store images that are linked to products identified by GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers). While the standard includes recommendations for image quality, it does not define protocols for image delivery or publication between trading partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe standard covers guidelines for product images for both online and print marketing material, as well as planogram images for retail shelf planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSection 3.3<\/a> of the standard document refers to the marketing image used in the Swedish market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Product Image Specification Standard\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Global standard <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Product Image Specification Standard<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Mobile Ready Hero Images Guideline\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documentation <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Mobile Ready Hero Images Guideline<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Guidelines for Mobile Ready Hero Images in Validoo<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-12-03<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nQuality assurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of Trade Item Information and Barcodes<\/h4>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance<\/a> of trade item information is the manual verification of your digital trade item information compared to physical or digital product samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of barcodes is a manual verification that your barcode on the packaging is readable and complies with the GS1 standard for barcodes. About 20 parameters are checked using advanced scanning equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/h4>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/a> for sales and marketing and for planograms, is the manual check of your product images, that provides your dealers with a verification that the images are of a sufficiently high standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Quality assurance rules\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documents <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Trade Item Information and Barcode quality<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Product Images<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-12-03<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nMeasurement<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen measuring an item’s dimensions, such as height, width, and depth, it is important that everyone measures in the same way so that there are no misunderstandings. When the dimensions in the item information match the actual item’s dimensions, the store can make an accurate shelf plan. In addition, it is possible to plan transport so that everything fits and the truck’s capacity is optimally utilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasure the outer dimensions of the item<\/h4>\n\n\n\nRemember to always measure the outer dimensions of the item since it is the outer dimensions that are needed for shelf planning and transport. Using the inner dimensions you receive from your packaging vendor may result in your customer’s shelf planning not working or the item not being placed in the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standard for consumer and non-consumer items <\/h4>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standards for all packaging types can be found in the global standard GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard. The parts describing measurement for packed consumer and non-consumer items are translated into Swedish in GS1 Standard f\u00f6r m\u00e4tning av f\u00f6rpackningar och produkter. Please note that consumer and non-consumer items should be measured in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Document <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard Release 3.2<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-03-01<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nGS1 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)<\/h2>\n\n\n\nGS1’s two standards for electronic commerce are GS1 EANCOM<\/a> and GS1 XML<\/a>.

Some of the benefits of AS2 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDigital signatures make it possible to verify the sender and prevent the information from being manipulated on the way between the sender and the receiver.<\/li>\n\n\n\nEncryption ensures that the information cannot be read by unauthorised persons during transmission.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe use of ack\/neck signals means that the transmitter and receiver always agree that a message has been sent and\/or received.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIt is also possible to connect to GS1 Sweden’s services Validoo<\/a>, My places<\/a> and Verified by GS1<\/a> via API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Documentation\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documentation <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Systems for sending, sharing and receiving product information<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n AS2 connection to GS1 Sweden<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n EDIINT AS1 and AS2 Transport Communication Guidelines <\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nWarehouse and transport management<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe specifications for warehouse management are developed by an international working group based on GS1 XML.

Specification Standard provides technical rules and guidelines for digital product images. It specifies how to store images that are linked to products identified by GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers). While the standard includes recommendations for image quality, it does not define protocols for image delivery or publication between trading partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe standard covers guidelines for product images for both online and print marketing material, as well as planogram images for retail shelf planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSection 3.3<\/a> of the standard document refers to the marketing image used in the Swedish market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Product Image Specification Standard\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Global standard <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Product Image Specification Standard<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Mobile Ready Hero Images Guideline\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documentation <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Mobile Ready Hero Images Guideline<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Guidelines for Mobile Ready Hero Images in Validoo<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-12-03<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nQuality assurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of Trade Item Information and Barcodes<\/h4>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance<\/a> of trade item information is the manual verification of your digital trade item information compared to physical or digital product samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of barcodes is a manual verification that your barcode on the packaging is readable and complies with the GS1 standard for barcodes. About 20 parameters are checked using advanced scanning equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/h4>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/a> for sales and marketing and for planograms, is the manual check of your product images, that provides your dealers with a verification that the images are of a sufficiently high standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Quality assurance rules\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documents <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Trade Item Information and Barcode quality<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Product Images<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-12-03<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nMeasurement<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen measuring an item’s dimensions, such as height, width, and depth, it is important that everyone measures in the same way so that there are no misunderstandings. When the dimensions in the item information match the actual item’s dimensions, the store can make an accurate shelf plan. In addition, it is possible to plan transport so that everything fits and the truck’s capacity is optimally utilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasure the outer dimensions of the item<\/h4>\n\n\n\nRemember to always measure the outer dimensions of the item since it is the outer dimensions that are needed for shelf planning and transport. Using the inner dimensions you receive from your packaging vendor may result in your customer’s shelf planning not working or the item not being placed in the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standard for consumer and non-consumer items <\/h4>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standards for all packaging types can be found in the global standard GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard. The parts describing measurement for packed consumer and non-consumer items are translated into Swedish in GS1 Standard f\u00f6r m\u00e4tning av f\u00f6rpackningar och produkter. Please note that consumer and non-consumer items should be measured in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Document <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard Release 3.2<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-03-01<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nGS1 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)<\/h2>\n\n\n\nGS1’s two standards for electronic commerce are GS1 EANCOM<\/a> and GS1 XML<\/a>.

Some of the benefits of AS2 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDigital signatures make it possible to verify the sender and prevent the information from being manipulated on the way between the sender and the receiver.<\/li>\n\n\n\nEncryption ensures that the information cannot be read by unauthorised persons during transmission.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe use of ack\/neck signals means that the transmitter and receiver always agree that a message has been sent and\/or received.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIt is also possible to connect to GS1 Sweden’s services Validoo<\/a>, My places<\/a> and Verified by GS1<\/a> via API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Documentation\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documentation <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Systems for sending, sharing and receiving product information<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n AS2 connection to GS1 Sweden<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n EDIINT AS1 and AS2 Transport Communication Guidelines <\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nWarehouse and transport management<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe specifications for warehouse management are developed by an international working group based on GS1 XML.

The GS1 Product Image Specification Standard provides technical rules and guidelines for digital product images. It specifies how to store images that are linked to products identified by GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers). While the standard includes recommendations for image quality, it does not define protocols for image delivery or publication between trading partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The standard covers guidelines for product images for both online and print marketing material, as well as planogram images for retail shelf planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Section 3.3<\/a> of the standard document refers to the marketing image used in the Swedish market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Product Image Specification Standard\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Global standard <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Product Image Specification Standard<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n \n\n \n GS1 Mobile Ready Hero Images Guideline\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documentation <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n GS1 Mobile Ready Hero Images Guideline<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Guidelines for Mobile Ready Hero Images in Validoo<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-12-03<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nQuality assurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of Trade Item Information and Barcodes<\/h4>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance<\/a> of trade item information is the manual verification of your digital trade item information compared to physical or digital product samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of barcodes is a manual verification that your barcode on the packaging is readable and complies with the GS1 standard for barcodes. About 20 parameters are checked using advanced scanning equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/h4>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/a> for sales and marketing and for planograms, is the manual check of your product images, that provides your dealers with a verification that the images are of a sufficiently high standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Quality assurance rules\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documents <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Trade Item Information and Barcode quality<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Product Images<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-12-03<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nMeasurement<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen measuring an item’s dimensions, such as height, width, and depth, it is important that everyone measures in the same way so that there are no misunderstandings. When the dimensions in the item information match the actual item’s dimensions, the store can make an accurate shelf plan. In addition, it is possible to plan transport so that everything fits and the truck’s capacity is optimally utilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasure the outer dimensions of the item<\/h4>\n\n\n\nRemember to always measure the outer dimensions of the item since it is the outer dimensions that are needed for shelf planning and transport. Using the inner dimensions you receive from your packaging vendor may result in your customer’s shelf planning not working or the item not being placed in the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standard for consumer and non-consumer items <\/h4>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standards for all packaging types can be found in the global standard GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard. The parts describing measurement for packed consumer and non-consumer items are translated into Swedish in GS1 Standard f\u00f6r m\u00e4tning av f\u00f6rpackningar och produkter.

Some of the benefits of AS2 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDigital signatures make it possible to verify the sender and prevent the information from being manipulated on the way between the sender and the receiver.<\/li>\n\n\n\nEncryption ensures that the information cannot be read by unauthorised persons during transmission.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe use of ack\/neck signals means that the transmitter and receiver always agree that a message has been sent and\/or received.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIt is also possible to connect to GS1 Sweden’s services Validoo<\/a>, My places<\/a> and Verified by GS1<\/a> via API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Documentation\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documentation <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Systems for sending, sharing and receiving product information<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n AS2 connection to GS1 Sweden<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n EDIINT AS1 and AS2 Transport Communication Guidelines <\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nWarehouse and transport management<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe specifications for warehouse management are developed by an international working group based on GS1 XML.

Quality assurance<\/a> of trade item information is the manual verification of your digital trade item information compared to physical or digital product samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of barcodes is a manual verification that your barcode on the packaging is readable and complies with the GS1 standard for barcodes. About 20 parameters are checked using advanced scanning equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/h4>\n\n\n\nQuality assurance of product images<\/a> for sales and marketing and for planograms, is the manual check of your product images, that provides your dealers with a verification that the images are of a sufficiently high standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Quality assurance rules\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documents <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Trade Item Information and Barcode quality<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Quality assurance rules for Product Images<\/a>\n <\/td>\n 2024-12-03<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nMeasurement<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhen measuring an item’s dimensions, such as height, width, and depth, it is important that everyone measures in the same way so that there are no misunderstandings. When the dimensions in the item information match the actual item’s dimensions, the store can make an accurate shelf plan. In addition, it is possible to plan transport so that everything fits and the truck’s capacity is optimally utilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasure the outer dimensions of the item<\/h4>\n\n\n\nRemember to always measure the outer dimensions of the item since it is the outer dimensions that are needed for shelf planning and transport. Using the inner dimensions you receive from your packaging vendor may result in your customer’s shelf planning not working or the item not being placed in the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standard for consumer and non-consumer items <\/h4>\n\n\n\nMeasurement standards for all packaging types can be found in the global standard GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard. The parts describing measurement for packed consumer and non-consumer items are translated into Swedish in GS1 Standard f\u00f6r m\u00e4tning av f\u00f6rpackningar och produkter.

Some of the benefits of AS2 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDigital signatures make it possible to verify the sender and prevent the information from being manipulated on the way between the sender and the receiver.<\/li>\n\n\n\nEncryption ensures that the information cannot be read by unauthorised persons during transmission.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe use of ack\/neck signals means that the transmitter and receiver always agree that a message has been sent and\/or received.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIt is also possible to connect to GS1 Sweden’s services Validoo<\/a>, My places<\/a> and Verified by GS1<\/a> via API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n Documentation\n \n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n Documentation <\/th>\n Last modified<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n Systems for sending, sharing and receiving product information<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n AS2 connection to GS1 Sweden<\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n \n \n EDIINT AS1 and AS2 Transport Communication Guidelines <\/a>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nWarehouse and transport management<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe specifications for warehouse management are developed by an international working group based on GS1 XML.

Measurement standards for all packaging types can be found in the global standard GS1 Package and Product Measurement Standard. The parts describing measurement for packed consumer and non-consumer items are translated into Swedish in GS1 Standard f\u00f6r m\u00e4tning av f\u00f6rpackningar och produkter. Please note that consumer and non-consumer items should be measured in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
