Introduction i
The purpose of these guidelines
These barcode guidelines have been created to set out recommendations for best practice and to
enable those working with the ALDI SOUTH Group to understand general as well as ALDI specific
coding requirements. This applies to product packaging (sales units), display cases and transport
packaging (order units).
Sales barcodes
This document is intended to serve as a guide on how best to integrate sales barcodes successfully
into all types of ALDI sales units. The prime objective is to minimise transaction time at the checkout.
All packaging must have correct barcodes so as to ideally achieve a 100% first-time read rate.
In order to achieve optimal results, ALDI packaging must have multiple barcodes. A minimum of two,
but ideally four, barcodes need to be positioned according to the type of packaging. In addition,
barcodes should be integrated into the packaging design as harmoniously as possible, which is aided
by optimum choice of barcode colour and size.
Substandard barcoding can add unnecessary costs to the trading process. Therefore correct barcode
positioning and barcoded legibility are imperative in the completion of all purchasing contracts
between ALDI and its suppliers.
Introducing barcodes for new purposes
ALDI aims to achieve greater traceability in its goods transactions, increased efficiency and
transparency of its supply chain – from suppliers through to customers.
In future, barcodes will also be utilised to manage retail processes such as ordering, warehouse
logistics and store deliveries. Numeric codes for all encoding will be provided by ALDI.
For example, in addition to sales barcodes (also know as sales GTIN) which are read at the point of sale,
order barcodes (also known as order GTINs) will be applied to units such as display cases or pallets for
traceability through the entire supply chain.
Chapter 9 of this document provides details on the encoding of sales and order information.

1. Barcode basics 1
1.1 A barcode explained
A barcode is a precise pattern of parallel dark bars and light spaces of varying widths in which a product-specific sequence of numbers is encoded. It can be
described as an ‘optical Morse code’ which is read by a laser scanner (see page 4). Barcodes are commonly found on consumer product packaging to
uniquely identify each product. A complete barcode consists of several defined components (see page 3).
Types of barcodes
There are many different types of barcodes used worldwide. The ALDI SOUTH Group uses EAN-8, EAN-13 and UPC-A (USA only) barcodes, hence these are the
only types of barcodes discussed in this document. EAN stands for European Article Number, UPC for Universal Product Code. These linear barcode types are
specified for worldwide retail point-of-sale because they are designed for high volume scanning environments.
The numbers encoded in these barcodes follow the standard set by GS1, the international body for barcoding (www.gs1.org). Encoded numbers can be
8, 12 or 13 digits long. The numbers also appear in numeric form below the bar pattern.
GTIN and RCN
GS1 allocates two different types of barcode numbers. Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN) guarantee worldwide exclusivity and are allocated for a fee.
Restricted Circulation Numbers (RCN) are free of charge for internal company use and do not guarantee exclusivity.
New standard
EAN-8 barcodes with encoded RCN used to be the standard for ALDI. With the introduction of SAP software by ALDI in 2018, EAN-13 barcodes with encoded
GTIN have become the new standard.

Three barcode types

1. Barcode basics 1
1.2 Barcode types used by ALDI
The 8-digit EAN-8 barcode is derived from the longer 13-digit EAN-13 barcode and was introduced for use on small packs. The EAN-13 barcode is a superset
of the original 12-digit UPC system developed in the United States, adding an extra digit to increase the number of barcodes available.
ALDI US use all three types of barcode. All other countries in the ALDI SOUTH Group use only EAN barcodes, with EAN-13 being the standard. EAN-8 barcodes
can be used for small packs where space is limited. Proprietary branded products sold in ALDI stores are likely to use the manufacturer’s EAN-13 barcodes
(e.g. ‘Haribo’ jelly babies or ‘Mars’ chocolate bars).
Elements
All three barcode symbols share the same basic elements: a light background area, a pattern of dark bars and a number. Guard bars (shown in blue and
white) indicate the start, centre and end of the bar pattern. The last bars and spaces in front of the end guard bars (shown in red and white) represent
a check digit which ensures that the data has been encoded correctly via a mathematical algorithm.
The diagrams below show some of the elements that EAN-8, EAN-13 and UPC-A barcode symbols have in common. Further details on barcode components
can be found throughout this chapter.

1.3 General barcode components
A barcode* consists of the following components: binary code, numeric code (also referred to as human readable interpretation/code/characters),
quiet zone (also referred to as light margin, clear area), quiet zone indicators and guard bars (also referred to as start/stop characters) which together form
a complete scannable entity. The diagram below explains the components of a barcode, using an EAN-8 barcode as example.
*Instead of the terms ‘barcode symbology’ or ‘barcode symbol’ the more colloquial term ‘barcode’ has been used throughout these guidelines.

Barcode: The overall term for the specific combination


of features required which together form a complete
scannable entity.

Barcode
Quiet zone: The clear spaces to the left and right of the
black bars which enhance the barcode legibility.

Quiet zone indicators: A less than (<) or greater than (>)


character printed outside the numeric code in the quiet
zone. Not applicable to all barcodes and not required
for ALDI barcodes.

indicators = GTIN or RCN Numeric code: The human readable number at t he
bottom of the barcode representing the data encoded
Centre in the binary code. The numeric code is not read by
guard bars
the scanning device.
Left Left Right Right
quiet zone guard bars Binary code guard bars quiet zone
Binary code: A number encoded in binary form in the
pattern of dark and light bars. This is the component
read by the scanning device.

Guard bars: Bar patterns at the start, centre and end


of the barcode. These serve as reference points for
the scanning device.

1. Barcode basics 1
1.4 The scanning process
A barcode is read optically by a scanner using laser technology. As the scanner’s beam of red light passes over the barcode, the dark bars absorb the
red light whilst the white spaces reflect it.
Photo diodes turn the reflected light into an electrical signal which is a representation of the bar and space pattern in the barcode. This is then
converted into digital pulses, translating the barcode into a sequence of numbers that are passed on to a computer (e.g. a cash register).

1.5 Barcode module
The basic building block of a barcode is a module, also referred to as X-dimension, Z-module or narrow bar. It can be described as the narrowest nominal
width unit of measure in a barcode.
The nominal width of the module is 0.33mm (= X) for EAN-8, EAN-13 and UPC-A barcodes at 100% size*. When a barcode is reduced or enlarged the width of
the module changes in proportion. All bars and space widths are multiples of the module width.There are only four different widths to bars and spaces:
single module width and two, three and four module widths. The width of the quiet zones is also calculated as multiples of the module width.
The standard widths for the quiet zones at 100% size are as follows*.
Recommended: EAN-8: 7X EAN-13: left 11X and right 7X UPC-A: 9X
Minimum: EAN-8: 6.2X EAN-13: left 10X and right 6.2X UPC-A: 8X.
Please note that ALDI requires the quiet zone widths to be increased (see page 21).

1. Barcode basics 1
1.6 Barcode sizes
Barcode sizes are referenced to a nominal size barcode of defined dimensions which forms the basis for other sizes. This basic size is known as SC2 and
represents a barcode at 100% magnification.
An SC2 size barcode may be reduced or enlarged by applying a magnification factor in the range 0.8 to 2.0 to all dimensions (0.75 to 2.0 under exceptional
circumstances)*. By applying this range of magnification factors a range of barcode sizes historically known as SC0 to SC9 is created. The smallest size SC0
is an 80% reduction of SC2, the largest size SC9 is a 200% enlargement of SC2.
SC2 is the preferred barcode size for ALDI packaging on most substrates (see page 10). SC0 and SC1 sizes are only used where space is very limited or for visual
reasons. In such instances consideration must be given to the choice of packaging substrate and print quality so as not to compromise the first-time read rate.
Large barcodes (SC6 to SC9) are best read from a distance, for example by using a pistol grip scanner. In general ALDI will not read GTIN barcodes from
a distance.

1.10 ALDI recommended barcode sizes
The table below shows the recommended barcode sizes in relation to the type of packaging, substrate and printing process.
If there is insufficient space to apply an SC2 barcode, the following options may be considered:
A. Review the positioning of the barcode or adjust the design of the pack,
B. Use the smaller SC1 or SC0 barcode sizes.
As a last resort, if none of these options can be implemented, a GTIN encoded EAN-8 barcode can be requested.

2. ALDI-specific barcodes 2
2.1 Achieving a 100% first-time read rate
The correct application of barcodes is important to ALDI as it ensures maximum efficiency at the
checkout. The cashier’s transaction time is optimised if barcodes achieve a 100% first-time read
rate when a product is passed over the laser scanner at the checkout without the cashier having to
twist or turn the product. Various factors influence the first-time read rate which must always be
considered when positioning barcodes on ALDI product packaging.

Factors that can influence the first-time read rate:


· Size of barcodes
· Length of bars
· Width of quiet zones
· Position of barcodes on the pack
· Shape of the surface area where the barcode is positioned
· Number of barcodes per pack (a minimum of two for ALDI packs)
· Contrast between bars and barcode background
· Choice of colours for bars and barcode background
· Packaging substrate
· Print process
· Print quality.

This chapter gives details on how information is encoded in ALDI barcodes and highlights how
barcodes need to be modified to fulfil ALDI requirements. It is important to note that whilst all the
above factors must be considered, barcodes must also always be integrated as harmoniously as
possible into the packaging design.

With the introduction of SAP software by ALDI in 2018, this type of barcode has become the new standard for ALDI.
Proprietary branded products sold in ALDI stores are also likely to use this type of barcode. EAN-13 barcodes for catch-weight products will
continue to be encoded with RCN (see following pages).

2.6 Price- or weight-encoded EAN-13 barcodes with RCN
This type of barcode is applied to individually weighed and packed items at the factory, such as fruit, vegetables and meat.
Example 1 shows a price-encoded barcode for bananas, example 2 shows a weight-encoded barcode for meat. The prefix 21 or 27 denote a
price-encoded barcode, the prefix 28 denotes a weight-encoded barcode. Digits 8-12 encode the item’s price or weight.
ALDI supplies the first six barcode digits to the supplier (e.g. 271717 in example 1) and, in the case of a price-encoded barcodes, also the
price per weight (e.g. 1.29 per kilo). The supplier’s software then generates a complete barcode for each item, including the individual
price or indvidual weight.
Price- or weight-encoded barcodes are generated by a particular algorithm and have two check digits.

2.8 UPC-A barcodes with encoded RCN
This type of barcode is used by ALDI US for catch-weight items such as fruit, vegetables and some meat.
It is capable of encoding the product price (see example following page).
Advantages: Allows more data to be encoded than an EAN-8 barcode.
Disadvantage: More difficult to read due to its longer format and requires more space on the pack.

2.9 Price-encoded UPC-A barcodes with RCN
This type of barcode is used by ALDI US for items that are individually priced and packed at the factory.
It can be used for fruit, vegetables and meat. The example shows a price-encoded barcode for for meat.
Digits 2-6 encode the item’s price in the format ‘NN.NN’.
ALDI provides the first six barcode digits to the supplier (e.g. 240318) and the price per weight (e.g. 4.99 per lb).
The supplier’s software then generates a complete barcode for each item, including the individual price.
Price-encoded barcodes are generated by a particular algorithm and have two check digits.

2.10 Modified elements
Barcodes on ALDI packaging are modified in several ways to achieve an optimal first-time read rate:
➊ Width of quiet zones extended and equalised
➋ Quiet zone indicator(s) removed
➌ Length of bars equalised and where possible/appropriate extended
➍ Position of numeric code altered and only one numeric code applied per pack.
These modifications are explained in detail on the following pages and apply to UPC-A barcodes as well.

2.11 Quiet zones
The quiet zones to the left and right of the bars increase legibility during the scanning process. No text or other marks should be printed in this area.
The width of the quiet zones varies depending on the type of barcode (see page 5).
ALDI require wider quiet zones than those generated as standard by barcoding software. The quiet zone indicators ‘<’ and ‘>’ are removed.
For barcodes at SC2 size, the quiet zones for ALDI barcodes must be a minimum of 4 mm wide. This measurement is scaled up or down proportionately
for all other SC  sizes. Please note that 12-digit and 13-digit barcodes are commonly generated with a smaller quiet zone on the right than on the left.
The quiet zones need to be the same size on both sides.
ALDI barcodes do not require a quiet zone above or below the bars.

2.12 Position of the numeric code
Barcodes are generated with the numeric code typeset in a standard barcode font and positioned below the bars with the numerals fitted in between the
outer and centre guard bars. This type style and positioning are not mandatory.
ALDI requires the standard numeric code below the barcode to be removed. The numeric code is encrypted in the bars and is not read by the scanner.
It is only added as a precaution in case scanning fails and the number has to be entered into the system manually by the cashier.
The numeric code appears only once on the pack and is placed in close proximity to one of the barcodes on the sides or back of pack. It is positioned
vertically to the right or left, or horizontally above or below. It is generally not placed on the front of pack. The typeface is changed to blend in with the
general pack copy, usually to Myriad Pro Regular or Condensed, 7.2pt size. The length of the bars is equalised at the top and bottom.
Position of on-sale date and product code
If the product is a promotional item, the on-sale date and the product code are stated on the pack. They appear only once on the pack and are positioned
near the barcode and opposite the numeric code, see below right. If the promotional item is sold with a warranty the on-sale date and the product code are
integrated in the customer support panel (not shown here).

2. ALDI-specific barcodes 2
2.13 Extended and truncated barcodes
After removing the numeric code from below the bars and equalising the height of the bars, the barcode can be extended or truncated. This involves
lengthening or shortening the black bars and quiet zones.
Extended barcodes
The first-time read rate can be positively affected by extending the bars since the laser scanner then has a larger target area to scan. Extended barcodes,
often in the shape of a band, have proved to be very effective, particularly on cans, bottles, jars and bags. The use of an extended SC2 size barcode
is preferable to a larger SC size as it can generally be integrated into the pack design more harmoniously.
ALDI barcodes are extended wherever possible, using the available space on the pack. There is no maximum length for an extended barcode.
Truncated barcodes
A truncated barcode is a barcode which has had its height capped, mainly due to space constrictions and occasionally for visual reasons. Whilst truncated
barcodes are in principle readable, the first-time read rate can be negatively affected as the laser scanner has a smaller target area for scanning.
The minimum height of a truncated barcode is 16mm.

2.14 Barcode colours
Barcodes are generated digitally with white backgrounds and black bars. This colour combination offers the highest
contrast for scanning and may be the only possible colour choice on some types of packaging due to cost, design or
technical restrictions. Since barcodes are difficult to integrate visually into the pack design due to their rigid linear pattern,
alternative barcode colours should be used wherever possible to allow the barcode to blend in.
The choice of these colours is not only influenced by design considerations but more importantly by technical parameters.
It is important to bear in mind that the laser scanner’s perception of colour differs from that of the human eye since the
scanner operates in the wavelength range of red light. It means that the colour red or colours close to red are interpreted
by the scanner as a white or light area. This effect can be observed with a simple pair of decoder glasses with red lenses.
An important factor to consider is the print quality of the bars. Printing the bars in CMYK colours means that several colours
have to be perfectly registered with each other. Even slight misregistration could lead to increased bar width and result in
a ‘failed’ verdict in the verification test. For this reason the bars must only be printed from one printing colour.
Bar colours
Only dark colours are used for bars. To ensure barcode legibility they must be printed in Black, Cyan or as 100% of a dark
Pantone® colour. No other colours and no tints of these colours are permitted. A range of acceptable bar colours is shown
on page 25-26.
Background colours
Generally, light colours or white are used for barcode backgrounds. A background in CMYK colours must not contain any
Cyan or Black tints. Magenta, Yellow and any combination of these two colours such as red, pink, orange or cream work
well as background colours, either as a solid colour (100%) or a tint. Light Pantone® background colours can be used as a
solid colour (100%) or as a tint. A range of acceptable background colours is shown on page 27-28.
Common problems
Problems occur if bars are printed using more than one ink or if light background colours are printed as tints of CMYK
colours which contain a component of Cyan or Black.
Even though a background as this may look very pale to the human eye, the scanner will detect the Cyan or Black
component and interpret it as a dark area. This would result in insufficient contrast with the dark bars and hence
compromised barcode legibility.
Gold, silver and other metallic colours should never be used for either background or bars due to their high reflectivity. The
following pages show acceptable bar and background colours and some examples of problematic colour combinations.

3. Quality assurance 3
3.1 Introduction
Quality assurance covers the following areas:
· Checking that the correct barcode number has been assigned
· Checking the quality (legibility) of the printed barcode
· Checking the correct position of the barcode on the pack.
Procedure
Suppliers and their design agencies are responsible for ensuring that all guidelines for best practice
of barcode application have been followed and that a digital proof is supplied to the National
Buying Departments to check the legibility of all barcodes on the pack before printing commences.
The legibility of every barcode is checked by National Buying Departments with the aid of a barcode
verifier. If a product is sourced from several different suppliers, each batch must be checked. The
required samples are requested from the supplier by the National Buying Department. The test
results are recorded on a form.
ALDI ‘goods in’ departments are equipped with a barcode laser scanner and will check all delivered
products for the correct application and legibility of every barcode on a pack. In general, each
barcode on a pack and each variant of assorted cartons should be checked.
All suppliers and National Buying Departments are informed of defective barcodes.

31
3. Quality assurance 3
3.2 Barcode verification
Barcode verification is the technical process by which a barcode is measured to determine its conformance with the specification for that symbol. The
benefits of verification are reassurance and confidence that the barcode will perform as intended at all stages of the product’s passage through the supply
chain, leading to untroubled supplier-customer relationships.
Barcode legibility is mainly determined by print quality. Even minor deterioration in the print quality can render a barcode unreadable by the cashier’s
scanner. Although some problems may be visible to the naked eye the majority of problems will only be picked up using a barcode verifier.
A barcode verifier works in a way similar to a laser scanner but instead of simply decoding a barcode, a verifier performs a series of tests to grade the
barcode. This involves ensuring that the amount of light reflected by the bars and spaces respectively provides maximum contrast to enable the barcode to
be correctly read by a scanning device. There are portable and PC-based verifiers, both generally comprising of a reading head, a data analyser and
a display sceen. A barcode verifier must be calibrated regularly to maintain the consistency of its measurements.
Barcode verifiers should be compliant with the international standards ISO/IEC 15416 and ISO/IEC 15420.
Interpreting the results
The verifier will report on what it has found, either in some form of display or in a printed report. The first thing to look at is the overall grade, which is a
general statement of the quality level. If it is close to, or below, the minimum acceptable, it is necessary to look at individual parameters to see why the grade
is depressed and what affects the parameters in order to determine the cause of the grade being low.
Barcode grades
Barcode grades are stated as 4/A, 3/B, 2/C, 1/D and 0/F. Ideally the barcode
4/A 3/B 2/C 1/D 0/F Passed Failed
quality should be grade 4/A. Minimum acceptance grade for ALDI is 3/B.

3.3 Check digits


EAN-8, EAN-13 and UPC-A barcodes for fixed-weight products
For these barcodes the check digit is the final digit. It is calculated from the preceding digits by means of a mathematical algorithm and ensures that the data
has been composed correctly. The barcode will not scan if the check digit reading does not agree with the calculated check digit. 
EAN-13 and UPC-A barcodes for catch-weight products
These types of barcode have two check digits: the 7th and the last digit. The algorithm for the last digit ensures that the data from the previous digits has
been composed correctly. The 7th digit is calculated from the following 5 digits (UPC-A: 4 digits), using a separate mathematical algorithm. If either of the
two check digits has not been calculated correctly, software used by ALDI will not read the barcode.

32
4. ALDI barcode number ranges 4
4.1 Allocation of barcode numbers
The numbers encoded in ALDI barcodes follow the standard set by GS1, the international
body for barcoding standards (www.gs1.org).
Management of the GS1 barcode number system is carried out locally by GS1 Member
Organisations. These use their assigned number ranges to allocate numbers to their
member companies, e. g. ALDI, to enable them to create GS1-compliant barcodes.
GTIN and RCN
ALDI use two types of barcode numbers. Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN) guarantee
worldwide exclusivity and are allocated for a fee. Restricted Circulation Numbers (RCN) are
free-of-charge for company-internal use and do not guarantee exclusivity.
New standard
EAN-8 barcodes with encoded RCN used to be the standard for ALDI. With the introduction
of SAP software by ALDI in 2018, EAN-13 barcodes with encoded GTIN have become the
new standard.
For catch-weight products EAN-13 and UPC-A barcodes with encoded RCN will continue
to be in use.

4.2 Barcode number ranges and company prefixes – ALDI SOUTH Group
Please note the difference between information relating to ALDI legacy administration software and new SAP software, introduced in 2018.
Legacy EAN-13 and UPC-A with encoded RCN continue to be used for catch-weight products. Barcode numbers are stated without the last check digit.
Number ranges and prefixes are the same for sales and order GTINs (see chapter 9). However, the full numeric code is generally different per product.

5. Positioning examples of sales GTIN 5
5.1 Introduction
Observing ALDI principles of barcode modification and positioning ensures that the pack can be
passed over the checkout scanner at any angle with at least one barcode being detected.
Two or more barcodes (sales GTIN) should be placed on every ALDI pack except wine bottles which,
for visual reasons, have only one sales GTIN on the back label. The general rule of thumb is: If a pack
is held with one hand, at least one sales GTIN must remain completely uncovered.
Throughout this chapter, best-practice positioning examples of sales GTIN on different pack types are
shown in the form of line illustrations. Please note that the illustrations present ideal solutions in
a generic way. Real-life packaging examples demonstrate the application of guidelines contained
in this document, considering limitations of space, design and production.
Please note
The packaging examples in this chapter incorporate EAN-8 and UPC-12 barcodes and have not yet
been replaced with the new standard ALDI sales GTIN-encoded EAN-13 barcodes. However, the
same guidelines for positioning, size, length, colour etc. apply. Please refer to chapters 1-4 for details.

5.2 Folding cartons
On 6-sided folding cartons, a sales GTIN should be placed on each side panel. The sales GTINs should be positioned at the maximum possible distance from
one another at the corners of the pack (examples A, B, C). If the top panel cannot have a sales GTIN due to a window or other design elements, the required
fourth sales GTIN can be placed on the upper part of the back area (example B).
On 4-sided sleeves, two continuous sales GTINs can run from the base panel onto the side panels (example D). On sleeves with very narrow side panels
(example E), a sales GTIN runs continuously across the back and extends to overlap partly onto the front. An additional sales GTIN is placed on the base panel
if it is wide enough.

5. Positioning examples of sales GTIN 5
5.3 Flexible bags
The most important factor to consider when placing sales GTINs on flexible bags is the naturally occurring crinkling of the material and the curvature of the
pack. A sales GTIN placed on a crinkled or strongly curved area cannot be read by the scanner. Therefore sales GTIN must be placed well away from the
sealing areas on the top and bottom of the pack. They should be positioned on what is assessed to be the flattest area of the pack.
The ideal sales GTIN position is centred and positioned at a 90 degree angle to the central sealing area on the back. It can be moved slightly up or down to
accommodate other design elements. The sales GTIN extends across the back and partly onto the front (examples A, B, C, D). Large bags have two sales GTIN,
one on the upper half and one on the lower half of the pack (example C).
If the bag has a gusset, such as a coffee bag, an additional sales GTIN can be placed on the flattest part of the gusset and the sales GTIN on the front can be
omitted (example E).

If the product has a rounded shape the sales

Due to cost restrictions a product may only
carry a single full colour label. In the example

5.4 Tins and cans
On round containers such as tins, cans, jars, pots and bottles sales GTINs must be positioned with the bars running in in the direction of the container’s
curvature (examples A, B and D). If there is not enough space to extend one sales GTIN all the way around the back, three separate sales GTINs are placed
at equal distance from one another (example B). Both options are equally acceptable. An extended sales GTIN such as in example A must have a length of at
least 50% of the container’s circumference.
In example C it is not possible to place a sales GTIN on the side panel at the recommended size and with the bars running in the direction of the container’s
curvature. Therefore it has been placed against the curvature on the flattest part of the side panel and on the base.
Cans in multi-packs must have at least one sales GTIN each, positioned on the side (example D).

Square-shaped jars must have a sales GTIN on the front and back (example A). On round jars and pots, sales GTINs must be positioned with the bars running
in the same direction as the container’s curvature (examples B and C). An extended sales GTIN on a large, round pot can run all the way around the pot
except the front area (example C). Such a sales GTIN must have a length of least 50% of the container’s circumference.
Small pots in multi-packs must each have a sales GTIN on the side and, if possible, one sales GTIN should be placed on the top foil (example D). Small pots sold
individually must have at least two sales GTINs. Large flat-fronted pots have a sales GTIN on two sides and on the base (example E). Oval-shaped pots have
a sales GTIN on the top, base and side (example F).

5.10 Catch-weight items
In the past it was often only possible to use sales GTINs at SC4 size for items priced by weight.
However, improvements in weigh-price-labelling equipment (e. g. manufactured by Bizerba) now
allow for quality label printing with sales GTINs of all sizes.
Since products priced by weight frequently do not have a flat area, long continuous sales GTINs can
compensate for unevenness. However, not all label dispensers are able to deliver adhesive labels
of this size and many products priced by weight are simply too small to take such large labels.
The aim should be to use the largest possible label with the longest possible extended sales GTIN
relative to product size.

6. Creative integration examples of sales GTIN 6
6.1 Introduction
Sales GTINs can be integrated creatively into the design of the pack provided that the basic sales GTIN
requirements as outlined in the beginning of this document are met.
Creative integration of a sales GTIN may be achieved by merging the sales GTIN with another design
element such as an illustration or a drawing, having the outer edge of the sales GTIN follow the cutter
shape or the shape of a design element, having the angle of the sales GTIN match the angle of an
adjacent design element or by filling the shape of a design element with the sales GTIN.
Discretion and design sensitivity must be applied in the process of creative sales GTIN integration so
as not to defeat the object and to create a design in which the sales GTINs draw unwanted attention.
All design layouts require the approval of the National Buying Department prior to printing.
There is no prescribed way for creative integration of sales GTINs but the following pages show
examples to give an indication of how to approach a design layout with this objective in mind.
Please note
The packaging examples in this chapter incorporate EAN-8 and have not yet been replaced with the
new standard ALDI sales GTIN-encoded EAN-13 sales GTINs. However, the same guidelines for
positioning, size, length, colour etc. apply. Please refer to chapters 1-4 for details.

7. QR Codes 7
7.1 Introduction

Whether in print advertising, on billboards or on product packaging, QR Codes have become increasingly popular in recent years. One of their most
common uses is to guide consumers to a website or a web application that provides additional information on a product or service. This content is usually
accessed by using a smartphone equipped with QR Code reader software.
QR Codes are not a replacement for EAN or UPC sales GTINs on ALDI packaging. They have a different function and are therefore used in addition to the
standard EAN or UPC sales GTINs that are described elsewhere in this guideline.

What can QR Codes be used for?


QR Codes were first developed to facilitate component tracking in the automotive industry. Today, they are most commonly used as shortcuts that provide
direct access to all kinds of online content, such as additional information on a product or service that could not be provided elsewhere (e.g. on product
packaging). As such, QR Codes are useful tools for general marketing purposes, linking to detailed product descriptions, videos, manuals, applications,
games, coupons, electronic tickets or sweepstakes via smartphone.
Some examples for QR Code application are:
• linking to detailed product descriptions or specifications (e.g. for multifunctional clothing or sophisticated IT products)

• linking to online information about the origin of a product or ingredient (e.g. fish, meat, dairy, wood)

• linking the product manual or package to a video instruction (e.g. for products that require assembly, DIY products or sports equipment)

• providing an online tool to calculate energy consumption of LED bulbs versus standard light bulbs

• helping customers to understand what a product has to offer without opening the packaging (e.g. a video demonstrating the different functions of a toy)

• in-depth demonstration of product benefits (e.g. a virtual tour of a travel destination)

• step-by-step instructions for online services (e.g. photo printing)

• linking to a loyalty programme.

Online content sign-off


The ALDI Director of International Buying (DIB) or the National Buying Director (NBD) will decide on a case-by-case basis whether it is appropriate and cost
effective to provide further information relating to a product via a QR Code link. If online content is to be provided via QR Code link, the NBD will request this
in the item confirmation from International Buying. Similar to the approval process for packaging, the online content will be provided by the supplier and
subsequently approved by the DIB and NBD. The DIB will approve the actual content and design, whereas the NBD will approve the copy, text and translation.
All content must be strictly in accordance with ALDI’s corporate identity. ALDI will have full control of the content published on the website linked to the
QR Code. ALDI may decline using the content if the information can not be adapted to their national requirements (e.g. language) by the supplier for cost
reasons or is not culturally appropriate for the specific market.
The following pages give further information about the technology, functionality, potential and application of QR Codes.

7.2 General information on QR Codes

What is a QR Code?
A QR Code (QR = Quick Response) is a two-dimensional matrix code in a square format consisting of dark and light modules which represent encoded data.
Surrounding the modules is a quiet zone, which is a four-module-wide buffer area containing no data, to ensure that surrounding text or markings are not
mistaken for data by the QR Code reader. The QR Code was designed with special position-detection patterns located in three corners of each symbol to
determine the codes angle of orientation, position and size.
In contrast to conventional sales GTINs, which are mechanically scanned using laser technology, QR Codes are digitally scanned by an image sensor such as
the camera lens in a smartphone.
QR Code symbols are clearly defined and published as ISO Standard 18004. It is an open format and the use of QR Code symbols is free.

large amounts of data which have very small modules may require a wider quiet zone.
Module
Smallest unit of a QR Code symbol.
Alignment pattern
Allows for distortion compensation when the QR Code is read, e.g. on bottles.
Data
Dark and light modules encode the data contained in the QR Code. The module size becomes
smaller as the amount of encoded data increases.
QR Code example with large Recommended minimum size
amounts of encoded data For application on ALDI material the QR Code should have a minimum size of 15 x 15 mm plus
a quiet zone of at least four modules. This recommendation is for QR Codes that contain small
amounts of data. QR Codes with large amounts of data may have to be enlarged considerably
depending on various factors which could compromise the legibility (see page 107–109).
Sizes below the recommended minimum should only be used in exceptional circumstances
Sources: www.wikipedia.com, www.denso-adc.com where there is a lack of space on the pack. All QR Codes must be tested for legibility before use.

7.2 General information on QR Codes CONTINUED

Advantages and disadvantages of QR Codes


Advantages
The QR Code combines fast scanning, high-capacity data storage and small size. Compared with conventional barcodes, QR Codes can hold a much
larger amount of data in a smaller space. Depending on the error-correction level chosen, a QR Code can be decoded even if up to 30 % of the data is
dirty or damaged. A QR Code can be read even if its image is on a curved or otherwise distorted surface.
The use of QR Codes in mobile marketing allows direct communication between advertisers and smartphone users. Businesses can save advertising and
printing costs by distributing a QR Code which links to their website. Customers can have immediate access to information and store it for future reference.
Disadvantages
Although QR Codes are becoming more popular there is a large group in society that does not know what QR Codes represent or does not have the necessary
equipment to make use of them. A data connection is needed to access the encoded information. If a location has poor mobile reception the process may
not work.
How does a QR Code link to additional information?
A QR Code applied to product packaging can be read by the camera in a smartphone or PDA (personal digital assistant). QR Code reader software then
decodes the embedded information, which subsequently directs the smartphone to take automatic action. For example, a QR Code might instruct a phone
to open its browser and display a specific website.
What type of data can a QR Code encode?
QR Codes primarily encode four data types: numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary and Kanji. The amount of data that can be stored in the QR Code symbol
depends on the data type, the version and error correction level.
The ability for QR Codes to contain over 4,000 alphanumeric characters, and their ease of use, makes them well suited for new marketing opportunities.

7.2 General information on QR Codes CONTINUED

QR Code versions
QR Codes can be generated in 40 different versions, from 21 x 21 modules (version 1) to 177 x 177 modules (version 40). Each higher symbol version has four
additional modules per side (16 additional modules per symbol), and can contain a proportionally larger amount of data. The maximum amount of data that
can be contained by a given symbol is determined by its version, type of characters and error-correction level.
QR Code size
The modules in the QR Code must be large enough to be recognized and decoded. If the size of the modules falls below the resolution limit of the camera
then the QR Code cannot be read by the device. If the QR Code is small but contains a lot of data, i. e. consists of a lot of small modules, its legibility could
be compromised.
Generating QR Codes
As the inventor of the QR Code and owner of the QR Code trademark, DENSO Wave Incorporated has allowed the patents for the code to be freely available
to the public. Consequently, many websites now feature online QR Code generators or downloadable code-generating software.
Such code generators and software may not be certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). As a result, the code symbols they
create may not adhere to the relevant ISO Standard 18004 and may not be readable by all devices.
It is important to note that non-ISO-compliant code generators do not determine the minimum printable size of a given QR Code symbol. If a symbol is
printed at a size that is below the ISO-specified minimum – which takes into account the amount of data contained in that symbol, the symbol version and
the resolution of the printing device – legibility will be dramatically reduced.
Using QR Code-generating software that is not ISO compliant can be especially problematic if the QR Code is to be read by smartphones, whose age and
technology may greatly vary. Also, the QR Code-reading software used by smartphones is not necessarily based on ISO specifications.

It is recommended to use only ISO-compliant QR Code-generating software which specifies the minimum printable size for a given symbol
in order to ensure maximum symbol legibility.

7. QR Codes 7
7.3 QR Code colours

Ideally the QR Code should be set up in black and white in order to ensure maximum legibility. However, it is possible to print QR Codes in any colour on any
background provided there is enough contrast between the light and dark modules. Insufficient contrast between the modules and the background will
compromise the code’s legibility.
Regardless of size and colour, every printed QR Code should be tested thoroughly for legibility. For the test it is recommended to use at least three
different smartphones and versions of QR Code reader software under conditions that resemble the environment in which it will be used.

108
7. QR Codes 7
7.4 Legibility and functionality of QR Codes

There are several factors that can influence the legibility and functionality of a QR Code symbol:

• Minimum printable size of any given QR Code symbol (ISO Standard 18004)
• Contrast between the dark and light modules
• Quiet zone around the QR Code

• Print quality of the QR Code

• Age and technology of the reading device (e.g. the resolution and the autofocus function of the camera in a smartphone)

• Quality of the QR Code reader software

• Mobile reception of the reading device.

7.5 QR Code positioning examples

Example 1 (ALDI SÜD, Germany)


The product info button design is not applied if a QR Code is used mainly for quality assurance purposes (e.g. fish sustainability or the origin of meat).
In such instances the QR Code can be integrated in a different design lockup that allows for further information in text form.
The lockup can be placed on any side of the pack. The additional text is positioned close to the QR Code and communicates information encoded
in the symbol. This ensures that information is available to consumers who do not have the option to scan the QR Code.
A specific logo, flash or claim on the front of pack can be used to guide the consumer to the detailed information on another side of the pack.

9.3 Application rules
The general rules and specifications in these guidelines governing barcodes apply.
• Order and sales GTINs are communicated to suppliers in the contract document.
• Number ranges and prefixes are the same for order and sales GTINs. However,
the full numeric code is generally different per product.
• For order and sales GTINs the same types of barcode symbol (EAN-8, EAN-13 or UPC-A)
are used for printing (see chapter 1). 123
1234

• Recommendations for sales GTINs sizes also apply to order GTINs (see chapter 1).
12345

For order GTINs the larger barcode sizes are preferred. 123
1234
• Legacy PLU numbers follow the rules described in chapter 8 with regards to size,
colour and font. Variant PLU numbers differ in that the oval colour is white 12345 .
• Sales GTINs are never printed on display cases.
• Order GTINs must not be printed on the front of display cases.
• All layouts require the approval of the National Buying Department prior to printing.

9.8 GTIN for branded single items (unit of measure = 1)
GTIN for branded items will be provided by the supplier and has to be requested directly from them.
For branded single items the supplier will only be able to provide one GTIN. The provided GTIN will be the order
and the sales GTIN at the same time, therefore the same GTIN has to be assigned to the display and to the single.
For all other use cases in regards to branded products, order GTIN and sales GTIN will be different and the same
rules will apply as for own branded products outlined in this guide.

10.1 Quick check guide for barcode compliance
Using the quick check guide can help to eliminate the most common mistakes when checking barcodes for
compliance with ALDI’s requirements. Please note that it is not intended to replace the rules of barcode
application laid out in other parts of this document.

Quick check guide – step by step


· Is the sales GTIN represented as a barcode on at least two sides of the sales packaging?
· Are the barcodes positioned at the greatest possible distance from each other?
· Are the barcodes out of the customer’s view as much as possible when the pack is positioned in the outer case?
· Are all the barcodes set up in standard size SC2 (or larger, if appropriate)?
· Are the bars at least 16mm tall?
· Have the numeric codes been removed from underneath all barcodes?
· Has one numeric code been positioned next to one of the barcodes and has the typeface been changed?
· Are the barcodes positioned in the flattest, least curved and least crinkled part of the pack?
· If the pack is curved, are the bars positioned to run in the direction of the curvature?
· Are the barcodes positioned away from any sealing areas, perforations and creases?
· Are the quiet zones to the left and right of the bars at least 4mm wide for a SC2 size barcode?
· Do the quiet zones align with the top and bottom of the bars?
· Are the bars and the background to the bars set up in the correct colours?
· Have you considered how to visually integrate the barcodes into the pack design?

Practical tips on barcode positioning


· If a pack is picked up with one hand, at least one barcode should remain uncovered.
If all barcodes can be covered with one hand, the positioning should be adjusted if possible.
· If a barcode appears on the consumer-facing side of the pack it should ideally be positioned
in an area that is covered by the outer case, i.e. most likely the bottom of the front face.
·O
 n small packs that have only one barcode because of space restrictions or for aesthetic reasons
an additional base label with a second barcode has to be applied.
