CONSTRUCTION OF DISPLAY CASES SHOULD BE ROBUST ENOUGH TO PREVENT BURSTING OF PERFORATIONS, TEAR STRIPS OR OPENING DEVICE.

REMOVABLE CORRUGATED HOODS SHOULD BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO BASE TRAYS WITHOUT OBSCURING BARCODE 5th Edition October 2006

Page 12

Section 1.7

Optimum Shelf Fit

Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) should be designed to maximise both retail shelf & pallet utilisation.

CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ENSURE OPTIMUM FIT TO CASE, PALLET & SHELF DIMENSIONS.

Ideal case configuration within Fresh food is 60cm x 40cm or 30cm x 40cm, as is currently standard for all Fresh Produce lines. 5th Edition October 2006

Section 1.8

Safety

2

Whilst total case weights of up to 16kg are permissible, it is preferred that the maximum case weight should be no more than 10kg. In circumstances where the weight of the case is unavoidably greater than 16kg (eg tv’s), the actual weight must be printed onto the case itself and must be pre-authorised by ASDA.

FOR ALL FLAMABLE PRODUCTS eg AEROSOLS, ENSURE ALL PACKAGING COMPLIES WITH THE LATEST A.D.R (Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangerous par route) REGULATIONS

ANY TRAYS USED FOR DELIVERIES MUST BE CLEAN, DRY & FREE FROM INFESTATION AND CONTAMINATION.

PRODUCTS DELIVERED IN A RETURNABLE PACKAGE E.G TRAYS, MUST BE AGREED WITH THE RELEVANT REPLENISHMENT ANALYST DURING PRODUCT SET UP. ASDA HAS APPROVED 3RD PARTY PACKAGING SUPPLIERS WHICH SUPPLIERS MAY BE REQUIRED TO USE.

Section 2.2

Fresh Food - Colour Coding of Labels

To minimise the length of time “fresh produce” is exposed to inappropriate temperatures, the case label must be colour coded to reflect the storage regime of these sensitive products. For all other “fresh” areas this requirement is desirable but may not be practical, if this is the case contact buyer to agree exceptions. TEMPERATURE BAND PRIORITY CHILL PREFERS CHILL PRIORITY AMBIENT PREFERS AMBIENT

COLOUR BLUE GREEN ORANGE YELLOW

IF COLOURED TAPE IS NOT USED (SEE PREVIOUS PAGE) THEN A 10cm COLOURED BAND MUST BE PRINTED

LABEL COLOUR INDICATES STORAGE REGIME (SEE TABLE ABOVE). TWO LABELS ARE PREFERRED ALTHOUGH ONE IS ACCEPTABLE

NB. COLOUR-CODING WITHIN FRESH FOOD IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW. CONTACT YOUR BUYER OR ASDA PACKAGING DEVELOPMENT MANAGER IF COMPLIANCE CAUSES PROBLEMS. 5th Edition October 2006

Page 21

Section 2.3

Label Positioning

Pre-printed cases If the bar code is pre-printed onto the outer case, a minimum of 2 bar codes are required - the supplier is responsible for ensuring that this bar code has been verified to decode at a minimum of Ansi grade D. If the bar code is inkjet printed onto the outer case, 2 bar codes are preferred although 1 may be accepted. Inkjet bar codes must be verified to decode at a minimum of Ansi grade D. Labelled cases If the bar code is printed onto a label, 2 barcodes per outer case are preferred (returnable trays only require a single label to be positioned on the tray end). If you have a practical issue in complying with this request then contact ASDA as there may be circumstances where a single label is sufficient. The supplier is responsible for ensuring that such bar codes have been verified to decode at a minimum of Ansi grade C. ONLY THE AGREED TUC CODE SHOULD BE VISIBLE ON THE OUTER CASE. ALL OTHER BAR CODES MUST BE OBLITERATED TO PREVENT REJECTION IN DEPOT.

TWO LABELS ARE PREFERRED ALTHOUGH ONE IS ACCEPTABLE 5th Edition October 2006

Page 22

Section 2.3

…..Continued

LABELS ON SHRINK WRAPPED CASES MUST BE APPLIED TO A FLAT OUTER SURFACE. THE BAR CODE MUST NOT BE OBSCURED BY THE SHRINK FILM IF THE SIDE WALL OF A CASE IS TOO SMALL TO HOLD A LABEL, THE LABEL MUST BE APPLIED TO A FLAT SECTION OF THE TOP FACE. LABELS POSITIONED ON THE TOP FACE ARE ONLY PERMISSIBLE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES


Page 23

Section 2.4

Barcode Requirements

ALL CONSUMER UNIT & OUTER CASE BAR CODES MUST CONFORM TO EAN STANDARDS TO GUARANTEE FIRST TIME SCANS. For further details of bar code standards please consult GS1 UK (formerly the e-centre) on www.gs1uk.org. GS1 UK are part of the worldwide GS1 network who set out international standards for bar coding. The above web site should be consulted for further detail regarding the printing of bar codes and their height, width and magnification. ALL PRODUCTS WILL BE RECEIPTED INTO DEPOTS BY SCANNING THE OUTER CASE BARCODE (TUC) THEREFORE IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL CASES/TRAYS/PACKS DELIVERED INTO AN ASDA SITE HAVE CLEARLY VISIBLE AND SCANABLE OUTER CASE BARCODES. PLEASE ENSURE CONSUMER UNIT BAR CODES CAN NOT BE SCANNED THROUGH SECONDARY PACKAGING. If you require a bar code to be issued for ASDA specific products, please contact your Buyer. Ensure that the printed TUC codes on the case match those held by ASDA. Check with the Buyer or Supply contact for confirmation ACCEPTABLE BAR CODE MAGNIFICATION

Section 2.4

…..Continued - Items With a Shelf Life of Less Than 42 Days

FOR ITEMS WITH A SHELF LIFE OF LESS THAN 42 DAYS, THE TUC CODE SHOULD BE ENCODED INTO AN EAN-128 BARCODE FORMAT, WITH THE “DURABILITY” DATE ENCODED INTO THE BARCODE IN ACCORDANCE WITH “GS1” GUIDELINES. THE FORMAT OF THE DURABILITY DATE (ie “use by” or “best before”) THAT IS USED ON THE CONSUMER UNIT SHOULD BE REFLECTED THROUGH ONTO THE OUTER CASE. For ASDA Brand items where a 13 digit TUC is issued, before generating the EAN 128 barcode, a leading zero must be added to create a 14-digit barcode number

THE APPLICATION IDENTIFIER, (eg A1), DEFINES THE TUC OR GTIN

THE “A1 15” DEFINES THE BEST BEFORE DATE OF THE ITEM. BOTH “TUC” (A1) & “BEST BEFORE” (A1 15) DATA WILL BE USED WHEN RECEIVING PRODUCTS 5th Edition October 2006

Page 25

Section 2.4 …..Continued - Items With a Shelf Life Greater Than 42 Days, or With No Date Code For items that fall into this category, any one of the following barcode formats can be used (barcodes shown are examples only and are not to scale). All barcodes to follow “GS1” guidelines.

Section 2.4

…..Continued - Barcode Best Practice

THE SUPPLIER MUST TEST SCAN EACH BATCH OF BARCODES TO GUARANTEE THE PRINT QUALITY. THE SUPPLIER SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT TESTING IS CARRIED OUT & THAT A PROCESS IS IN PLACE TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION WHERE FAILURES OCCUR ALL BARCODES MUST BE VERIFIED USING EQUIPMENT COMPLIANT WITH ISO/IEC 15426-1 & 15416 WHICH INCORPORATE CEN AND ANSI STANDARDS. IF PRINTED ON LABELS THEY MUST ACHIEVE A MINIMUM GRADE C SCAN, HOWEVER IF ITF-14 CODES ARE PRINTED DIRECTLY ONTO THE OUTER CASE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO ACHIEVE A MINIMUM GRADE D. ALL LABELLING MUST BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND TEMPERATURE REGIMES ENCOUNTERED WITHIN THE PRODUCT'S NORMAL DISTRIBUTION METHOD AND THE SCANNING ABILITY OF THE BARCODE MUST NOT BE IMPAIRED BY TEMPERATURE CONSTRAINTS. WHEN THE CASES ARE STACKED ON THE PALLET, PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE OUTER CASE BARCODES ARE FACING OUTWARDS FOR EASE OF SCANNING. ALL CASES MUST HAVE A CLEARLY VISIBLE TUC BARCODE ON THE OUTER CASE. THE BARCODES MUST BE PRINTED OR APPLIED CENTRALLY ON A FLAT SURFACE OF THE CASE, ON ANY SIDE OF THE CASE/TRAY AND AWAY FROM THE CORNERS. THE CONSUMER UNIT BARCODE SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE THROUGH THE OUTER PACKAGING. TO PREVENT REFLECTANCE PROBLEMS WITH BAR CODE SCANNING, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE USE OF HIGH GLOSS LABELS OR SUBSTRATES ARE AVOIDED.

Section 2.5 Outer Cases

Break-Packs - A Shipping Case That Contains Multiple

“OUTER” & “INNER” CASES MUST HAVE DIFFERENT TUC CODES

EACH “OUTER” AND “INNER” CASE MUST BE LABELLED WITH IT’S TRADED UNIT CODE (TUC) AND PRODUCT INFORMATION DETAILS (REFER TO SECTION 2.1 FOR LABEL DETAILS). NB FOR G.M. PRODUCTS THE “OUTER” CASE DOES NOT NEED TO BE COLOUR BANDED

THE OUTER CASE OF THE BREAK-PACK MUST BE CLEARLY LABELLED AS “BREAKPACK” IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER REQUIRED PRODUCT INFORMATION (PREFERABLY ON 2 FACES IN MINIMUM 35mm HIGH TEXT) 5th Edition October 2006

Pallet Specification

ALL PALLETS MUST BE 1000MM X 1200MM 4-WAY ENTRY AND MUST BE MANUFACTURED TO GENERALLY COMPLY WITH THE PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF THE UIC 435/5 SPECIFICATION. Drawings and dimensions of such a pallet are shown in the diagram overleaf. “Chep” supply pallets manufactured to this standard, ie Blue Chep pallets, and can be contacted on http://www.chep.com/. USAGE OF PALLETS MANUFACTURED TO ANY OTHER SPECIFICATION MUST BE PREAUTHORISED BY ASDA (e.g half pallets, dollies, bespoke pallets etc) Whichever pallet is agreed, it is recommended that all pallets should be supplied by an epal registered manufacturer or repairer.

PRIOR AUTHORISATION MUST BE OBTAINED TO SUPPLY PRODUCTS IN AN UN-PALLETISED FORMAT eg Far-East “handballed” imports

GOODS DELIVERED ON UNSTABLE, SUB-STANDARD OR DAMAGED PALLETS MAY BE REFUSED. DRIVERS MAY BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE-STACK GOODS ONTO ACCEPTABLE PALLETS (OFF ASDA PREMISES), OR THE DISTRIBUTION CENTRE MAY RE-STACK THE GOODS. IF SO, THE SUPPLIER MAY BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY. 5th Edition October 2006
