Carton accuracy

Catch packing errors before they reach your DC.

Packing errors can lead to chargebacks and rework. Check carton contents before dispatch, while the goods are still at the vendor.

The right assortment

Check quantities by size against the carton’s packing standard. Catch assortment errors at the vendor before the shipment reaches your distribution centre.

Sealed-carton checks

Read SSI RFID-tagged items inside a sealed carton. Identify shortages while the goods are still on the packing floor.

Evidence you can review

Export handheld reports with expected and counted quantities by UPC, plus individual EPC records for a detailed review.

SSI iCheck

Check the contents.
Keep the carton sealed.

SSI iCheck compares RFID-tagged contents with the carton’s PO-specific packing standard, helping your vendors catch assortment and quantity errors before dispatch.

Find your setup

Bring the check to the carton.

Read tagged items inside a sealed carton and compare quantities by size with the selected packing standard. See what is still missing before completing the check.

Why us

One partner, from label production to carton verification.

SSI combines apparel label manufacturing and RFID encoding with verification equipment, custom software and factory support. Introduce consistent carton checks across your vendor network, with a setup that fits each site.

Labels and encoding

Integrate RFID into compatible hang tags, care labels and packaging, encoded to your programme’s GS1 / EPC specification.

Custom RFID software

We build RFID software around your operation, from carton verification and stocktaking to ERP / WMS integration and tailored reporting.

A setup for each vendor

Start with handheld checks, add a Cube station or fit verification into a conveyor line. Tailor the workflow as your programme grows.

Support on the factory floor

Get help with installation and operator training, backed by ongoing software support and SSI’s manufacturing presence across markets.

Custom RFID solutions

Software built around the way you work.

Have an established ERP or WMS, a particular packing process, or reporting requirements of your own? SSI develops custom RFID applications and integrations with your IT and operations teams.

Start with carton validation or discuss stocktaking, material management and warehouse automation. We agree the data requirements and design the software for your workflow.

The inlay goes inside the trim you already buy.

RFID inlays can be integrated into compatible branded tags, labels and packaging. We review the inlay, construction and reading requirements for your product before confirming the specification.

Your branding and RFID requirements can be developed together, with tag placement and reading performance considered before production.

EAS

The same tag can set off the gate.

Electronic article surveillance is the oldest job on this list, and it does not have to arrive as a separate sticker applied in the store.

Integrated at source

Compatible EAS inlays can be integrated into branded tags, labels or packaging during production. Share your retailer’s system requirements so we can review the options.

Or deliberately visible

Where the deterrent works by being seen, we build a branded theft-deterrent tag instead — read as protection at a glance, rather than hidden inside the card.

Authentication

Proving the piece is yours.

For high-value and in-demand product, the problem is not counting it — it is proving it is genuine, in a way that is hard to reproduce and obvious when tampered with.

A tamper-evident authentication tag with a scannable code, a unique serial number and a security strip

Scannable, serialized, tamper-evident.

A shopper checks the code with a phone and the tag answers for itself. Each one carries its own serial, and the security strip below it does not survive being lifted — so a tag that has been opened cannot be passed on as untouched.

A densely woven multi-color security label

Or built into the weave itself.

Security can be a construction rather than an addition. A label woven this densely, in this many colors, is its own control — copying it means reproducing the loom setup, not scanning and reprinting a graphic.

RFID labels that lock their data, specially woven labels, holographic labels — the right control depends on what is being protected and who is likely to copy it. Tell us the product and we will tell you which of these actually fits.

Under the hood

Encode the tag.
Model the flow. Trace the result.

Good RFID starts before the first scan. Explore the identifiers, reading workflows and event records that bring a program together.

01 Model the workflow

See the reading workflow in motion.

Follow a pallet through a warehouse gate. See repeated antenna reads become identified items and a recorded business event.

02 GS1 encoding

The right identity.
Before the first read.

A product identifier says what the item is. A serial number makes it individual. Together, they form the identity encoded on the tag.

03 EPCIS data model

A record behind
every movement.

Connect observed tag identities with their item, carton and pallet records. EPCIS events give a movement its time, location and business context.
