`
`American Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI
`that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for
`approval have been met by the standards developer.
`National
`Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of
`s tandard Standards Review, substanflal agreement has been reached by directly
`and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more
`than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires
`that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be
`made toward their resolution.
`The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their
`existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved
`the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using
`products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.
`The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and
`will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National
`Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an
`interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American
`National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be ad-
`dressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page
`of this standard.
`CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or
`withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards
`Institute require thai action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or
`withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may
`receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American
`National Standards Institute.

`
`Foreword (This foreword is not part of Amorican National Standard MI-1108M-1993.)
`
`ANSI MHIO.8M-1993 has been promulgated to facilitate the concurrent
`movement of both goods and information between trading partners.
`Guidance is presented for both labeling and direct marking of unit-loads
`and transport packages. This document contains requirements for label
`printing to ensure scannability of bar code symbols, standardized label for-
`mats, physical parameters of symbols and labels along with specifications
`for orientation and placement of bar code symbols and text on unit loads
`and transport packages. Recommendations are also given for a common
`shipping/transportation label template as a guide for new, or as an alter-
`nate to existing, industry standards.
`ANSI MH1O.8M-1993 replaces an earlier American National Standard
`Standard. lt was unanimously advanced to the full MH1O Committee follow-
`Ing 21 meetings over a five 5-year period of development at the Working
`Group (WG) level through Subcommittee 8 (MH1O.8). The full MH1O
`Committee then unanimously approved the work product for submittal to
`ANSI for final review/approval, which was granted on December 16, 1993.
`Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They
`should be sent to the Material Handling Institute, Inc., 8720 Red Oak
`Boulevard, Suite 201, Charlotte, NC 28217,
`This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the
`Accredited Standards Committee on Unit Loads and Transport Packages,
`MH1O. Committee approval to this standard does not necessarily imply that
`committee or subcommittee members voted for its approval. At the time it
`approved this standard, the MH1O Committee had the following members:

`
`I Scope
`
`This standard describes the requirements for
`bar code symbols on unit loads and transport
`packages to convey data between trading part-
`ners. Both labels and direct marking methods
`are covered ¡n this standard under the general
`term label. This document outlines the require-
`ments for printing labels on unit loads and
`transport packages to ensure scannability of
`bar code symbols and provide consistency of
`label formats across multiple industries and
`multiple trading partners. This standard also
`recommends a common shipping/transporta-
`lion label template as a guide for new industry
`standards and as an alternate format for exist-
`¡ng industry standards. The physical parame-
`ters of the symbols and labels are provided
`and a bar code symbol quality level is speci-
`fied. The orientation and placement of bar
`code symbols and text on unit loads and trans-
`port packages are specified.
`This standard does not supersede or replace
`any applicable safety or regulatory marking or
`labeling requirements. The standard is to be
`applied in addition to any other mandated
`labeling requirements.

`3 DefinItions
`
`There are many terms and definitions associat-
`ed with bar code symbology that have special
`meaning to this industry. The following are def-
`initions of terms specific to this document.
`Definitions of other related terms used in this
`document can be found in the documents ref-
`erenced in clause 2, Normative references.
`3.1 alphanumerIc: This term describes a
`character set that contains alphabetic charac-
`ters (letters), numeric digits (numbers), and
`usually other characters such as punctuation
`marks.

`the capability of a reader to automatically rec-
`ognize and decode multiple bar code symbol-
`ogies.
`3.5 bar code symbol: The bar code symbol
`is an array of rectangular bars and spaces
`that are arranged in a predetermined pattern
`following specific rules to represent elements
`of data that are referred to as characters. A
`bar code symbol typically contains a leading
`Quiet Zone, start character, data character(s)
`including a check character (if any), stop
`character, and a trailing Quiet Zone.
`3.6 carrIer:
`In a transaction, the carrier is
`the party that provides freight transportation
`services.
`3.7 character:
`In a bar code symbol, a
`character is the smallest group of elements
`that represent one or more numbers, letters,
`punctuation marks, or other information.
`
`3.8 check character: A check character is
`a calculated character often included within a
`bar code symbol whose value is used for per-
`forming a mathematical check of the validity
`of the decoded data.

`tomer is the party that receives, buys, or con-
`sumes an item or service.
`3.12 Data Identifier (Dl): A Data Identifier
`is a character (or set of characters) within a
`bar code symbol that defines the general cat-
`egory or specific use of the data that is
`encoded in the same bar code symbol. The
`identifier shall be an alphabetic character or
`an alphabetic character preceded by up to
`three numeric characters, as defined ¡n
`ANSI/FACT-i. The data that follows the Data
`Identifier is a single piece of information.

`
`4 General concepts
`
`The purpose of a bar code label is to facilitate
`the movement of goods and the exchange of
`data among all members within a channel of
`distribution (suppliers, carriers, customers
`and others). The amount of data (bar code as
`well as human readable text) needed on a
`label is a function of the needs of the trading
`partners involved. When a bar code label is
`used in conjunction with computerized data
`bases and electronic data interchange (EDI),
`the amount of data needed on a label may be
`reduced significantly.
`The modular structure described in this clause
`and applied in clause 5, Label format, is
`designed to provide a common format for the
`data exchange needs of members within a
`channel of distribution.
`4.1 Labeler
`For the purposes of this document, the term
`labeler refers to the organization responsible
`for having the label, or a section of the label,
`printed and applied.

`
`4.2 Label
`The general term label means the printed
`area ori the package that includes the text or
`bar code information or both, as covered in
`this standard. The label may be constructed
`by the use of either indirect marking (e.g.,
`pressure-sensitive labels, tags) or direct
`marking (e.g., ink jet, Ilexography), or both.
`Separate sections of the label may be applied
`at different stages to form the complete label.
`Segments
`Segments are logical groupings of information
`based on the data needs of the trading part-
`ners within the distribution channel. Three
`:segments are defined in 6.3.3, Data sequence:
`carrier segment, customer segment, and sup-
`plier segment.
`4,4 BuildIng blocks
`To simplify label formatting, a modular struc-
`ture is described.
`The building block is the basic standard unit
`of the label format.
`An individual building block or sub-block may
`contain text or graphics ("text block"), a single
`bar code field with human readable interpreta-
`tion ("bar code block"), or may be blank.
`Each building block may be physically pro-
`duced separately or in combination with other
`building blocks. This provides the option ol
`prInting data as it becomes known. Building
`blocks should be stacked vertically (see f ig-
`ure 1).
`4.5 Label dimensions
`The label format described does not dictate a
`fixed size for the total label. The physical
`dimensions of the label shall be determined
`by the labeler. Considerations for label size
`selection may include: the amount of data to
`be printed, the physical characteristics of the
`printing equipment used, or the size of the
`package (unit load or transport package).
`4.6 Text LInes-Per-Block
`The height of text characters is defined using
`a unit of measure called Lines-Per-Block
`(LPB), rather than inches, millimeters, or
`points. This enables the printer of the label to
`determine the actual height and font of text for
`a given LPB.
`

`
`4.7 Bar codes
`Two approaches have been selected to imple-
`ment the label format:
`- Code 39 with Data Identifiers, as
`described in ANSI/FACT-i;
`- UCC/EAN standards.
`4.8 Unique package Identifier ("license
`plate")
`A unique package identifier is a numeric or
`alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies
`a package for traceability within the channel
`of distribution. Unique package identifier
`requirements for The Common Label are
`defined in 6.2.2. Such identification Consists
`of three elements:
`a) a controlled number for labeler identifi-
`cation;
`b) a means to identify the controlling
`authority that assigned the labeler identifi-
`cation number;
`C) a serial number for the package,
`assigned by the labeler.
`
`5 Label format
`
`This clause defines a standardized format for
`package labels. lt is intended to serve as the
`preferred format for industries developing or
`revising unit load and transport package bar
`code label standards in order to provide a uni-
`versally accepted format across all industries.
`5.1 BuIlding blocks
`Building blocks should be stacked vertically to
`construct the label. Building blocks should be
`separated from each other by a horizontal line.
`5.1.1 BuildIng block size
`Building block height shall be 1.0 in ± 0.2 in
`(25 mm ± 5 mm) as determined by the printing
`capability of the labeler (see figure 1).
`The width of a building block is the width of
`the label.
`One double-height bar code block, per segment,
`may be used to satisfy special scanning require-
`ments (e.g., automated conveyor scanning,
`long-range scanning). Double-height bar code
`blocks shall be 2 in ± 0.4 in (51 mm ± 10.2 mm).

`
`ANSI MH1O.8M-1993
`
`One half-height text building block, per seg-
`ment, may be used at the discretion of the
`labeler. Half-height blocks shall be 0.5 in ±
`0.1 ¡n (13 mm±2mm).
`5.1.2 Sub-blocks
`Building blocks can be divided into no more
`than four sub-blocks. The minimum width of a
`sub-block shall be determined by the amount
`of data that will be printed in that sub-block.
`A sub-block shall be the full height of the
`building block.
`Vertical lines should be used between sub-blocks.
`5.1.3 Text block
`A text building block or sub-block may contain
`text or graphics or both. A text building block or
`sub-block shall not contain a bar code symbol.
`5.1.3.1 Text dimensions
`Eight sizes may be specified for text, ranging
`from one to eight Lines-Per-Block (LPB). The
`exact character heights corresponding to the
`eight text sizes shall be chosen by the labeler
`based on the capabilities of the printing process.
`Labelers shall choose a single height for each
`of the eight sizes so that clear distinctions shall
`be evident between text sizes (i.e., 8 LPB text
`shall be smaller than 7 LPB text, etc.). Figure 2
`illustrates 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and 8 LPB printing.
`The characters shall be clearly legible. For
`maximum legibility, the ratio of the height to
`width of a character should not exceed 2:1
`(measured on an "M" character).
`Character height for double-height and half-
`height blocks shall be the same as specified
`for a single-height block.
`5.1.3.2 Text building block and sub-block
`tItle line
`A title should be used. When a title is used it
`shall be printed in the upper left corner of the
`text building block or sub-block. The title
`should be printed in uppercase characters at
`a height of 6 Lines-Per-Block, two lines maxi-
`mum, left justified. See figure 5.
`
`5.1.4 Bar code block
`A bar code may be specified for either a build-
`ing block or sub-block. A building block shall
`not contain more than one bar code symbol.
`
`The bar code sub-block should be the leftmost
`sub-block within a building block.
`5.1.4.1 Bar code block title line(s)
`A title shall be printed in the upper left corner
`of the bar code building block or sub-block.
`The title should be printed in uppercase char-
`acters at a height of 6 Lines-Per-Block, two
`lines maximum, left justified. The title should
`consist of a description of the data type. The
`title should comply with the ANSI/FACT-i or
`UCC/EAN procedures, consistent with the for-
`mat selected for presenting the data.
`5.1 .4.2 Bar code symbol placement
`The bar code symbol should be placed in the
`lower portion of the bar code building block.
`The bar code symbol should be left justified,
`allowing for the quiet zone as specified in
`5.2.1 .3 Quiet Zones.
`5.2 Bar code symbols
`This label approach recognizes the use of Code
`39 and UCC/EAN-128 bar code symbologies.
`5.2,1 Bar code symbol dimensions
`The parameters in this section apply to both
`Code 39 and UCC/EAN-128 symbols used on
`unit loads and transport packages.
`5.2.1.1 Barcode symbol height
`The minimum height of the bar code symbol
`shall be 0.5 in (13 mm). This requirement
`does not supersede application standards
`which specify a larger minimum height.
`5.2.1.2 Narrow element dimension
`The narrow element dimension (X dimension)
`range should be from 0.010 to 0.017 in (0.254
`to 0.432 mm) as determined by the printing
`capability of the supplier/printer of the label.
`Symbols with narrow elements at the lower end
`of this range, i.e., 0.010 to 0.013 in (0.254 to
`0.330 mm), may require special care to meet
`the bar code print quality requirements of 8.1.1.
`Conformance to bar code print quality require-
`ments shall be determined according to 8.1.1.
`The above narrow element range does not
`apply to UCC Shipping Container Symbols.
`5.2.1.3 Quiet Zones
`The bar code symbol shall have minimum
`Quiet Zones of 0.25 in (6.4 mm). For
`
