Global Apparel Manufacturer Adopts GS1 Standards for Item-Level Tagging

With support from GS1 US® Solution Partners, the manufacturer implemented item–level tagging in its distribution centre.
Global Apparel Manufacturer Adopts GS1 Standards for Item-Level Tagging

When a trading partner required that radio frequency identification (RFID) tags be placed on a global apparel manufacturer’s bras, the company stepped up to the challenge, taking decisive actions to make EPC-enabled RFID tagging part of the retailer’s order fulfilment process.

Using GS1 Standards, an EPC RFID tag is attached to each garment and encoded with a Serialized Global Trade Item Number® (SGTIN®) that uniquely identifies the item and its attributes.

The SGTIN is linked to the garment’s barcode that will be scanned at the retail register, giving the manufacturer greater visibility of items throughout its supply chain.
