Free warehouse pallet SSCC labels

Yes, you can design warehouse pallet SSCC labels for free. Make the pallet ID huge, add the ship-to and a barcode, and print a whole batch from your ASN or WMS export. The SSCC number itself is one you already own.

Pallet label template examples

These are real renders from the editor. The pallet IDs, PO numbers, docks and the SSCC digits are made up. Click one and it opens with the same layout and text.

Pallet ID label4 x 6 in. Pallet ID, cases, weight, PO and ship-to line. SSCC-style pallet block4 x 2 in. Pallet ID, cases, your SSCC as text and as a barcode of the same digits, ship-to, PO. Staging lane label4 x 2 in. Door, lane, direction, PO.

What goes on a pallet label

Start with the pallet ID, and make it huge. It's the first thing anyone should see on the pallet.

Under that, the usual lines:

• The pallet or SSCC ID.
• Ship-to and PO lines.
• Case count and weight, if the receiver asks for them.
• A barcode, in the symbology you choose.

Lay it out so it still works when it wraps a corner. A staging lane or dock door sign is a different, simpler label: the lane name big, the direction and PO underneath, like the third example.

GS1-128 for a real SSCC, CODE128 for an internal pallet ID

The SSCC example above prints its digits with plain CODE128, the editor's default barcode. That's fine for showing the layout, and fine for an internal pallet ID your own warehouse scans.

A real SSCC barcode is GS1-128. It's Code 128 with an extra start character that tells the receiver's scanner "this is GS1 data," plus the (00) application identifier in front of the 18-digit SSCC. To switch, select the barcode, open the Format list, and pick GS1-128 (warehouse / carton). The GS1-128 barcode generator explains the (00) prefix and how parentheses are handled.

The SSCC number itself comes from your GS1 company prefix and your own serial counter. We never assign or check those numbers. Print the human-readable SSCC from the same column as the barcode, so the two can't drift apart.

Make warehouse pallet SSCC labels

1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com with the pallet template. No signup.
2. Set 4x6, or the corner-wrap size you actually stick.
3. Put the pallet or SSCC ID large.
4. Add the ship-to, the PO, and a Barcode of the ID you own. For an SSCC, set its Format to GS1-128.
5. Load the WMS export and preview one pallet.
6. Print one, scan it with the gun the dock uses, then print the stack.

Print pallet labels from Excel

Keep the sheet to one row per pallet, with columns your export already has, for example:

The rows above are made up, and this sheet doesn't load with any example. Click Data and upload your own file. Click a text box, then Variables, and pick the column for it. For the barcode, click it and type the column name in double curly braces as its value, for example {{SSCC}}, so the bars and the printed digits come from the same cell. Open Edit row, tick today's pallets, and click Print. The file stays in your browser.

Keep the SSCC column formatted as text in Excel. Otherwise Excel can turn 18 digits into scientific notation or drop the leading zero. For more on the sheet side, see print labels from Excel. Bins, shelves and locations inside the building are a separate job, covered under inventory labels.

Your IDs, your GS1 numbers. The app just prints the sticker.

Print or save

If you have a Zebra, print from the browser with Browser Print at the printer's DPI.

Otherwise, download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. Save the JSON if you want an editable master for next time.
