The Serial Shipping Container Code is used to identify individual shipping containers. This is used, generally, to establish a number that is unique worldwide to track a specific container.

SSCC-18 is encoded with Code128 symbology (UCC/EAN-128).

  • Packaging Type (1 character).

    • 3=Undefined.
    • 4=Internal company use.
