Bundles, also called as shrinks in the sector, is a method of packaging to keep two or more products together with a shrinkwrap made out of polymere plastic. The shrinkwrap has a structure which shrinks so that it wraps around the material when heat is applied and is used as an external wrapping material.

SSCC is a coding system with specified regulations designed for transport packaging and is used for the unique identification of transportation units.

The identification and numbering of transportation units greatly facilitates logistic operations (transportation, shipping, distribution and all stocking operations) and increases efficiency of automation applications in logistic operations by bringing speed and accuracy. Every transportation unit is given a serial number which provides its identification during its lifetime (starting with the moment of its production until it is not usable). SSCC contains a different number for each transportation unit. Even if several transportation units contain the same product, every transportation unit is given a different SSCC number, thus a serial number. The SSCC number is used as an access key to reach the identification of the transportation unit in the computer environment and the information related to its features. You may access detailed information on the SSCC number used for the identification of the transportation units in the TOBB GS1 web page.

SSCC is used in the PTS system. In the product transfers using the PTS system, the product DataMatrix information is accessed within the transportation unit by the given SSCC number. Please visit the guidelines web page for detailed information of the PTS web services and its regulations.
