If a label has been damaged in the transport and the barcode cannot be scanned correctly, the quality assurance will not be approved. If the product has been squashed, the dimensions in the trade item information may not be correct. Therefore, pack your samples thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In order for us to match a product sample with your booking, it is important that the delivery note you receive while confirming the booking is printed and sent with the sample. If you have missed printing the delivery note when you booked, you can do so afterwards if you go to the \u201cMy Bookings\u201d tab.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Also, note that:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you pack your sample in some form of transport packaging, remember to label the outer packaging with your company name and GLN (as stated on the delivery note)<\/li>\n<li>If any of the samples (outer packaging and\/or consumer packaging) lacks a barcode, you need to mark them with the GTIN specified in the trade item information<\/li>\n<li>If the product sample is missing a delivery note or if the delivery note does not match the product sample, it may take longer before the quality assurance can begin.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Send the sample with delivery to GS1 Swedens gate, for example with \u201cPostens f\u00f6retagspaket\u201d or carrier. We are not able to retrieve packages from an external delivery point.<\/li>\n<li>Chilled and frozen products should be transported with refrigerated transport, if there is a risk that measurements will change during transport or that the packaging is otherwise destroyed. Unfortunately, we cannot return chilled or frozen samples since quality assurance is carried out at room temperature and we cannot guarantee an unbroken cooling chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>You can read more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/en\/guides\/documentation\/quality-assurance-rules-for-article-information-and-barcode-quality\/instructions-for-samples\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instructions for product samples<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","support_categories":[219,219,216,216],"support_tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-15899","1":"support","2":"type-support","3":"status-publish","4":"hentry","5":"support_categories-quality-assurance-trade-item-information","7":"support_categories-validoo-en-2"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How do I pack and label physical samples? &#187; GS1 Sweden<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/en\/support\/how-do-i-pack-and-label-physical-samples\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I pack and label physical samples?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It is important that the products are in good condition when we receive them.
