SSCC numbers (Serial Shipping Container Code) are used when sending out Shipments to your Customers. The SSCC is a unique 18 digit serial number which contains your GS1 company prefix and will be used to identify each individual Container being shipped.
The SSCC should be generated as per GS1 standards which will be recognised internationally. It contains no information about the Container contents but will provide a link to the systems where the information is held to make it easier to track and trace.
