Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI) / Produce Tracking Labels

Symbology, Inc. is on the leading edge of PTI / produce tracking label implementation. For many growers, packagers and distributors, our PTI Solutions and pre-printed traceability labels offer an efficient, economical answer.

Symbology's PTI expertise and real world experience help clients implement PTI in the most cost effective and accurate way.  We'll work with your existing systems and ensure that your produce tracking barcodes conform to requirements.

Our pre-printed labels and unique application tools are a great fit for producers with larger volumes or unique processes.

PTI requires a machine readable barcode in three different use modes

• Case barcode with A.I. (01)  GTIN-14 and  A.I. (10) lot/batch barcode
• Hybrid Pallet Label that contains an A.I.(00) SSCC-18 barcode
• Count-of-Items Label containing A.I. (02) GTIN-14 of a contained item, A.I.(10) Lot/batch code, A.I. (37) Quantity of this item on the pallet. This label is placed above the SSCC-18 barcode on the  Hybrid Pallet label

The use of pre-printed labels can represent significant cost savings for many users.    Our pre-printed, pressure sensitive labels provide:

• Material savings with smaller label design possibilities and bulk label purchasing
• Time savings at application vs. print/apply methods
• Sturdy materials to survive harsh environment conditions

Our PTI Consultants can guide you through implementation.
