1.1 INTRODUCTION

This section provides examples of packaging types and barcode positioning.

The ALDI approach to the placement of barcodes is distinctly different to that of

other supermarket chains. In order to minimise cashier transaction time, all products

must achieve a 100% first-time barcode reading rate without the cashier having to

twist or turn the product. This is achieved through the use of multiple barcodes

on pack.

In order to achieve optimum 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 as harmoniously as

possible into the packaging design, which is aided by optimum choice of barcode

colour and size.

Sub-standard bar coding can add unnecessary costs to the trading process.

Therefore correct barcode positioning and quality is imperative in the completion of

all purchasing contracts between ALDI and its suppliers.

This document is intended to serve as a guide on how best to integrate barcodes

successfully into all types of ALDI packaging.



1.2 ONeSIDeDLabeLORSWINGTaG

PackagingType(onesidedlabel)

All information is contained on 1 single label, flat on the front of pack, the label can

be adhesive or applied by heat seal ie small goods, cheese. The size and shape of

the label is determined by the pack shape and product type.

PackagingType(swingtag)

Swing tags can be printed on one or both sides. The size and shape of the swing tag

is determined by the pack shape and product type.

BarcodePositioning(onesidedlabel)

Single sided labels are an exception to the policy of having multiple barcodes on

pack, the barcode can be positioned either horizontally or vertically to suit the

design and layout of information. In instances where the label is heat sealed

particular care needs to be taken to ensure that the barcode is positioned at

90˚angle to the pack edge - barcodes that run over heat seal areas have scannability

greatly reduced.

BarcodePositioning(swingtag)

Only one barcode is required on swing tags - the position of the barcode can be

determined by which side can be scanned more efficiently (without the Operator

having to twist and turn the swing tag) and also whether both sides can be printed

on the swing tag or not. The position of the barcode can be either horizontal or vertical

to suit the design and layout of information.

1.3 TWOSIDeDLabeL

PackagingType

Two sided labels carry a single label on both back and front, one panel is nominated

as the front face. The size and shape of the label is determined by the pack shape

and product type.

Barcodepositioning-Trigger

A vertical barcode is placed on the front label at the base and a horizontal barcode,

running the full width of the label, is placed on the back. The barcode on the back

should ideally be placed centrally vertically as shown but can be placed anywhere in

the label if the design, label shape or amount of pack copy dictates.

On the front label the top of the barcode can be angled or shaped to mirror aspects of

the front design, but care must be taken to ensure the useable portion of the barcode

is no smaller than the minimum truncation of 16mm.



XXXXXXXX

FRONT BACK

Barcodepositioning-WineBottle

Wine and spirit bottles are an exception to the policy of multiple barcodes on pack,

and only require a single horizontal barcode at the base of the back label, leaving the

front clear for design purposes.

FRONT BACK

ALTERNATEXXXXXXXXXXXX

Barcodepositioning-Tube

Tubes should have a vertical barcode at the top of one face and a horizontal barcode

at the base of the alternate face. An alternative is to place a verticle barcode on one

face. Which side is the front and which is the back can be chosen based on what suits

the design best. If used the opposite way round from that shown here the barcode

number must be moved to the back and placed alongside the vertical barcode.


FRONT BACK

1.4 WRapaROUNDLabeL

PackagingType

Wraparound labels are commonly used on cylindrical

products including jars, tins and bottles. The front section

facing the consumer is normally in the centre of the label

and shows the primary product information i.e. title,

image, weight statement DI’s etc. The left and right

sections wrapping around to the back contains product

data, NIP, ingredient and legislative requirements

including the ALDI guarantee.

Depths and lengths of wraparound labels will differ

depending on product size.

Two barcodes on opposite ends is an alternative.

BarcodePositioning-Cans

Canned products with a wraparound label should have a

barcode placed horizontally at the base which should

cover at least half the circumference.

On large cans (for example 1kg tins of dog food) a second

barcode should be added at the top, mirroring that at

the bottom, if space permits.


XX

XX

XX

XX

FRONT BACK


BarcodePositioning-SmallCans

On small cans with wraparound labels it will not be possible to follow the guidelines

as laid out on the previous page because of the amount of copy needed on pack,

therefore small wraparound labels should have two horizontal barcodes placed at

equal distances around the label as shown top left. This will result in barcodes either

side of the front face as shown bottom left.

Having the right amount of barcodes correctly positioned is critical on small packs, so

barcodes take precedence over design and pack copy. To achieve this the following

(in order of least priority) can be omitted:

1. Bin or recycle logo or statement

2. ALDI guarantee statement

3. ALDI trademark statement

4. Claims

All other text is a mandatory legal requirement and must be present on the label.



BarcodePositioning-NeckLabels

Where neck labels are used on bottles they should include two barcodes either side

as shown. Barcodes on the bottom label/s (shown here as a wraparound) will follow

normal rules.



XXXXXXXX

FRONT BACK

BarcodePositioning-LargeBottle

Large bottles with a wraparound label should have a barcode placed horizontally at

the base which should cover at least half the circumference.



1.5 FLeXIbLebaGS

PackagingType

For a complex wrap portrait or landscape format can be used to suit the product

and how it will be displayed in the outer carton.

The pack has no defined hard edges to each panel (unlike boxes) and there is

usually a degree of slippage* when the product is packed in a wrap especially

noticeable when wrapping around a tray.

*Slippage on a complex wrap occurs during the packing and heat sealing process when the

front, side and back panels slip around the pack by up to 5mm in either direction. This is most

common on wraps with inner trays such as biscuits. This means that images and copy from

adjacent panels may end up moving and appearing over the next panel, ie 5mm of the front

face ending up on the side or visa-versa.

BarcodePositioning-Bag

It is possible for front of pack barcodes to sit behind photography as shown left. If

photography is used to cover up any part of the barcode it is essential that approval is

sought from your Buying Director at ALDI.

Barcodes can run vertically on the back of the bag only in exceptional circumstances

where dictated by technical print considerations.


XXXXXXXX

BACKA FRONT FRONT

Option 2Option 1


BarcodePositioning-SmallBag

Small bags (nuts, individual crisps, sweets) should have a

barcode running horizontally across the middle of the

back of the bag. A barcode should also be included on the

front. This can be achieved in one of two ways, depending

on what suits the front of pack design best. Either the

barcodes are extended round from the back onto the front

(option 1) or a single vertical barcode is placed bottom left

or right of the front face (option2).

Barcodes can run vertically on the back of the bag too.

BarcodePositioning-BiscuitFlowWrap

On a biscuit flow wrap, utilise the sides, top and base of the pack with 4 barcodes.

Barcodes can be positioned vertically or horizontally on the pack, depending on

technical considerations.



1.6 FOURSIDeDSLeeve

PackagingType

On a four sided sleeve, all panels can be used. Core

information can be on the front and back of pack, and

selling points can be added/repeated on the sides of

pack. These areas can also be used to reinforce claims or

to feature nutritional information or barcodes.

Portrait or landscape format can be used to suit the

product and how it will be displayed in the outer carton/

on the shelf.

BarcodePositioning-FourSidedSleeve

On sleeved products, where there are two open ends,

barcodes should be placed on all four faces. The barcode

on the top face can appear top right or bottom left,

whichever suits the design best.

1.7 SIXSIDeDbOX

PackagingType

On a six sided box, usually all panels can be used to

display information. Core information can be on the

front and back, selling points can be added/repeated

on the top and sides of pack. These areas can also be

used to reinforce claims or to feature nutritional

information or barcodes.

Portrait or landscape format can be used to suit the

product and how it will be displayed in the outer carton.

In some cases two opposite panels can be treated as

the front.

BarcodePositioning-SixSidedBox

Six sided boxes should have a barcode on all four sides at

opposing corners as shown.

The only exception to this could be on dual faced freezer

box where, because of the amount of information needed

on the sides, there is no room for a barcode on one of the

sides. In this instance alone a barcode should be added to

the portrait front face.


XXXXXXXX

BarcodePositioning-DrinksCarton

Drinks cartons should have barcodes placed on the sides,

one at the top, one at the base as shown. A barcode can be

added to the top but this is not essential.

In 2009, on certain packs Tetrapak have added a recycling

advertisement panel covering the whole side panel.

Where this is used the barcode is moved to the base of the

back to the left of the seal as shown below.

The manufacturers recommendation should be followed

by every type of pack.

BarcodePositioning-DrinksCartonAlternative



Option 2Option 1

1.8 SHRINKWRap

PackagingType

Shrink wrap is used primarily for multi-packs such as

drinks bottles, it can be printed or clear and there are

specific requirement for print and no-print areas

determined by the manufacturer.

BarcodePositioning-SixSidedObjects

The orientation of barcodes on a 6 pack shrink wraps will

be determined by technical constraints. Option 1 is the

preferred route with a horizontal barcode placed at the

base of both the front and back faces. Where technical

requirements mean the barcode has to be printed

vertically (option 2) the barcode should be placed

centrally and run up and over and down and underneath

the pack onto the back face as shown.

Barcodes can be increased in size to SC3 or SC4 to increase

scanability if deemed necessary.

On larger packs PLU numbers can be used to replace the

barcodes.*

*To be confirmed (no reference is made to PLU numbers in the

2009 guidelines from Germany)

Where products are clear shrink wrapped and Trade

Measurement Statement does not appear on outer

shrink wrap the barcode must not obscure any of the

inner Trade Measurement Statements.



1.9 GOLDeNRULeS

• There should be a minimum of 2 barcodes per pack.

• The barcode should compliment the design as best possible and should be

positioned appropriately for the pack format.

• Minimum barcode size will be SC2 (100% magnification), except where packs

are very small and print quality is very high where SC1 (90% magnification) may

be acceptable. SC3 (110% magnification) or higher can be used on film products

or where packaging/printing quality is poor.

• Extended barcodes should be used extensively.

• The barcode number should only be printed once on pack.

• Light margins are required left and right but not upper and lower.

• Care should be taken to ensure that even with the use of barcodes on multiple faces,

the cashier could not cover up all barcodes when handling the product. Barcodes

should therefore be placed as far apart from each other as the packaging allows.

• When viewed vertically the edge of the barcode left or right should be a

minimum of 5mm from any edges, seams or folds. Top and bottom edges can

run up and over edges and folds.

• Barcodes must have a minimum bar height of 16mm.

• The barcode number should always be printed accompanying one barcode.



1.10 ReSpONSIbILITIeS

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 Buying Director in order to check the legibility of all barcodes on

the pack before printing commences.

The legibility of every barcode is checked by the Buying Assistant 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

Buying Assistant. The test results are recorded on a form.

ALDI’s ‘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.

TO BE USED IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES ONLY





1.11 baRCODeSIZeS:SCCODeS

The size of a barcode if it is reduced or enlarged from the

standard EAN 8 size is classified by SC codes, ranging

from SC0 to SC9. SC2 is the code for a barcode at its

standard size (100% magnification), SC0 and SC1 are

smaller than the standard size (82% and 90%

magnification respectively) and SC3 and above are larger,

finishing at SC9 which is twice the size of a standard

barcode (200% magnification). The minimum barcode

size for all ALDI products will be SC2 (100% magnification).

Where packs are very small and print quality is very high

SC1 (90% magnification) may be acceptable in exceptional

circumstances, but SC0 should never be used. SC3 (110%

magnification) or higher can be used on film products or

where packaging/printing quality is poor.

Appendix 3 shows recommended SC sizes for differing

pack types and print processes.

1. The light margin indicators are removed.

2. The number is removed. It is then placed to the side of just one of the barcodes

on pack, with text in 6pt or greater Helvetica Neue 55 Roman.

3. The light margins are increased (see following page) and the bars aligned with

the top and bottom of the box.

4. The height of the barcode should be extended where space allows.

5. On smaller packs the height can be truncated but never be less than a minimum

of 16mm.


4mm2.3mm


1.13 LIGHTMaRGINS

All barcodes should have a clear space to the left and right of the bars (if viewed

vertically). This clear space can be referred to by one of several names - buffer zone,

clear zone, blank field, light margins - but for the purposes of this document they

shall henceforth be referred to as light margins. ALDI require larger light margins

than those specified by a standard EAN 8 barcode. For an SC2 barcode at 100%

magnification the light margins should be a minimum of 4mm either side. This

distance scales up or down accordingly for all other SC sizes.

Light margins are not required above or below the bars and should be avoided (as

shown bottom left).



1.14 baRCODeGUIDeLINeS

BarcodeVerification

Barcode verification should meet the following when verified:

Minimum acceptance grade is 3B

The grading of barcodes is against international standards:

ISO/IEC 15416I

SO/IEC 15420

Verification Frequency during printing should be as follows:

Symbol grade 4/A 3/B 2/C

Samples per 100K 44 8 16

Product will be scanned at ALDI Distribution Centres on receipt of delivery checking

for correct barcode on pack and that scan performance is to 3/B score.

Any product failing to pass will be rejected.

Allergenic substances are identified in the ingredient list in bold type. It is also an

ALDI requirement that a standardised summary statement accompany the

ingredient list, and if appropriate, a standardised precautionary statement. This

precautionary statement must only be used in conjunction with the VITAL Tool as

indicated in the PIF.

Food Industry Guide to Allergen Management and Labelling - 2007 Revised Edition ��

5.5 Recommended Labelling Format

A consistent approach in the presentation of allergen information will help allergic consumers more quickly and easily identify foods of concern, helping to minimise accidental consumption of unsuitable foods. It is desirable that manufacturers adopt the recommended labelling formats.

The recommended format consists of:

an ingredient list declaring in bold allergenic substances and their derivatives; and

an allergen summary statement; and

a precautionary statement.

Allergenic substances are identified in the ingredient list so the information can be easily understood by the consumer. It is also recommended that a standardised summary statement accompany the ingredient list, and if appropriate, a standardised precautionary statement. This precautionary statement must only be used in conjunction with VITAL (Section 6).

Recommended labelling foRmat example.

ingredient list

All allergens are identified in the ingredient list each time an ingredient containing an allergen is listed.

Allergens are declared in bold type each time they appear in the ingredient list.

Gluten source (grain source) is qualified in the ingredient list at all times.

Declare in bolding the allergenic ingredient/component or qualify in bold the ingredient/component according to the allergenic foods listed in the Table to clause 4 of Standard 1.2.3 in the Code. e.g. Parmesan cheese or Parmesan cheese (milk) .

Declare the specific name of the tree nut/s in the ingredient list when added as a direct ingredient, rather than the generic term nuts or tree nuts.

Processing aids derived from an allergenic source must declare the allergen in the ingredient list.

PlainPackFace–noplatformrequired

If the %DI Panel is placed on a plain pack face (ie clear, or a solid colour, or a non-

busy image), and therefore the %DI Panel is easy to read, then no Platform is

required as shown right.

BusyPackface–platformrequired

If the %DI Panel is placed on a busy pack face, a Platform will be required to aid

readability. An example of a Platform shape and how it will sit on a pack is

shown right.

A busy pack face refers to:

– a photograph

– a complex image/illustration

– a texture

The Platform shape is 50% white transparency (it’s shown right as grey for this

guide only, so it can be seen). It sits between the %DI Panel and the pack face – it

therefore tints the area of the pack face that it sits over.

Platform shapes to suit the varying %DI Panel versions will be provided on CD.% Daily Intake (%DI) per TBCg serve

6.1 INTRODUCTION

It is essential that outer cases are ‘fit-for-purpose’, to prevent product damage through

the supply chain and that the optimum cube is filled on pallets to achieve distribution

efficiencies. In addition, outer cases must deliver the fundamental principles of good

‘retail ready packaging’ (RRP), so that we maintain maximum efficiency in-store and

make it easy for our customers to identify products and be able to purchase them.

In the following pages you will find examples of formats, sizes, types, how brand

and product graphics are applied along with the various printing methods.

Before commencing work on any outer case design and production you MUST ensure

that you have discussed and confirmed the following with your Buying Directors:

• Mixed or single case identification• Case Structure including: Dimensions (external and internal) Material performance (fit for purpose) Supply chain efficency (maximise pallet / shelf utilisation) Transit trials Store handling• Shelf fit and pallet fit• Print process• A mock up of your carton in actual substrate must be approved by the ALDI

ShelfFit

Check with Buying Director the shelf size for the product and develop the outer

cartons to make best use of the full footprint and shelf depth. Also consider the

pallet footprint to maximise efficiencies to reduce logistics costs. It is important to

consider the area of the store where your product will be merchandised, how your

product is shopped and how many facings you will have.

Allshelfreadyoutercartonsmustmeetthefollowingminimumstandardsandasmuchaspossibleshouldbedesignedto“disappear“andherotheprimarypack:

• Extended from the pack design or complimentary to it in terms of colours.

• Printed on all sides so that the product looks the same from all angles.

• Be of a high print quality agreed with the Buying Director.

• Printed on double white lined board for shelf ready products.

• Display all mandatory messaging, Australian Made, volume, product title etc.

• A structural design that makes access to contents easy for customers whilst

maintaining a neat and tidy appearance.

• Must be able to hold product contents without buckling, bending or breaking

during transit, storage or on shelf.

• For freezer cartons, product to be packed upside down (where possible) to assist

stores. Brown board is acceptable.

• Designed to best optimise the shelf or pallet space. Depth of carton should not

exceed 30cm.

• Tearout sections removed prior to delivery.

• Is the case a mixed or single case identification, or a generic case for several products?

• Case Structure for example:

– Dimensions – Strength

– Aperture – Substrate

– Any tooling (for example to create shapes – Logistics efficiency

around aperture) – Transit trials

– Type of lid if any (for example U-card / lid / open top) – Store handling

– Print process (litho 4-6 colour / flexo 2-3 colour) – Shelf utilisation

– Perforation standard – Seal*

– Finish inside and out

Amockupofthecaseincludingproductshouldalwaysbeapprovedatcontractstage.

* Seal should always be left to right of the pack and never front to back. This will avoid unsightly sealing tape showing. Furthermore sealing tape should only be used when absolutely necessary and should never appear on the front face of an outer case.

6.7 LIDS-KeYCONSIDeRaTIONS...IT’SNOTJUSTaLID!

Lids are usually a vital component of the outer case and often have multiple functions

through the distribution chain and in-store, therefore, it is critical you identify (with

the Buying Director) all functions when specifying the lid to ensure the correct

construction, material and print type.

For example, a lid can have both functions during the distribution chain:

• Consolidate and protect product in outer case.

• Provide stacking support during storage and distribution, to enable cases to be

stacked up to 1950mm on a pallet, without the bottom cases being crushed or

products damaged.

In-store the function of the lid can vary considerably. Some are removed immediately

when the cases are merchandised on the shelf (in this instance, the lid can be a

plain brown or white material to indicate that the lid has to be removed). However,

the majority of lids are kept on in store to provide support for cases stacked on the

shelf; therefore the following has to be considered:

Should the lid enable the product to be pigeon hole shopped?

If yes… there are 3 options:

1. Lid can go from left to right, leaving the front face of the products open /visible

through the whole supply chain – (only if the construction provides sufficient

protection of the products inside the case, and products are not able to fall-out

out. Additional stacking support in the centre may also be required.) Thumb

holes help the removal of lids in stores.

2. If option 1 is not feasible, the lid will have to go from front to back, with the front

of the lid folded back in store to enable access to the products. Thumb holes help

the removal of lids in stores.

3. A shoe box style lid.

Lids that are kept on in store (excluding lids with print replicating the product), must

be printed the same colour as the outer case.

All lids must have thumb holes.


6.0 outer cArtoNS

6.8 WaSTeaNDReSpONSIbILITY

CasePerformance–MaterialSelection

It is fundamental that the optimum packaging material is used to prevent damage

and waste through the supply chain, and enables best use of cubic space available.

Ensure case material (in conjunction with the lid when applicable) is strong enough

to fulfil all the key stages within the distribution supply chain detailed below.

EnvironmentalResponsibilities

From an environmental perspective, ALDI require fit for purpose cases, designed to:

• prevent damage or waste.

• make best use of the cubic space available on pallets and thus minimize

resources used in distribution. For example, good practice reduces movement

on pallets, warehousing space and vehicle journeys associated with the delivery

of ALDI products.

• use the optimum packaging material to ensure cases are fit for purpose. Cases

engineered for purpose rather than using excess packaging.

All outer cases must be fully recyclable and easy to flatten after use, so that they can

be easily handled through the ALDI recycling system. This is crucial as cases that do

not break down easily take store staff nine times the effort to dispose of than those

that do.


6.0 outer cArtoNS

6.9 SUppLYCHaINFLOWCHaRT=KeYpOINTSFORCONSIDeRaTION

The following stages of the supply chain must be considered (see flowchart):

• Shipping full pallets of casesinto the ALDI DC – ensuring the bottom cases do not

crush. All pallets must be transit tested by the supplier and pallet plans conducted.

• Storage in DC – Withstanding different temperature regimes (especially chilled

and frozen products).

• Manually picked and handled – make sure the case does not tear or come-apart

when being manually handled, both in the DC when being picked onto a pallet,

and in store being merchandised onto the shelf.

• Cases are typically shipped from the DC to store on a mixed pallet with other

cases -therefore, make sure the cases are stable and able to stack /support on a

mixed pallet.

• In store, cases are typically stacked on top of each other, with product being

picked from any case in the stack (the lid can be critical in providing this ‘pigeon

hole’ picking function) – ensure the outer case (and lid where appropriate) is

strong enough to support the stack above when products have been removed

from the case.


6.0 outer cArtoNS

6.10 paCKINGaNDaSSeMbLY 6.11 paLLeTLINeS

• All cases must be assembled correctly, including the folding over of the front lip

(when applicable).

• All primary packaging must be packed within the case in the correct orientation,

so that when the case is opened and placed on the shelf, customers can easily

identify the product and read product information.

• Ensure no damage occurs to primary packaging during the filling process,

especially with mixed cases.

• No tape is allowed on the outer cases. If tape must be used, ensure the seal is left to right with no tape showing on the front of the carton.

• Cases must be designed without perforations, unless it is unavoidable.

• Pallet overhang is not permitted (i.e., cases must not overhang the outer limit of

the pallet base when packed onto the pallet).

• Overly tight stretch wrap creates weakness in the corners of the outer cases and

must be avoided as the case will look poor and not be suitable for mixed pallet

deliveries out to store.

FullPallets

To minimise the environmental impact and distribution / storage costs, products

being shipped into ALDI must fully utilise the pallet footprint whenever possible (no

overhang is acceptable). They must utilise the maximum height limitations

(subject to safe stacking and the load being stable). Where the maximum

pallet height is not fully utilised, this must be approved by the ALDI Buying Director.

Heightlimitations

Do not use tape to contain the cases on the pallets, any use of tape will result in the

cases being rejected.

Please refer to ALDI Goods-in guidelines for height limitations.

print and production:

Case specifications:

• Material to be brown on both inside and outside

• Use corrugated fluting

• Text to be printed one colour black

• Maximise pallet foot print and height

• Cartons are packed upside down whenever possible in line with the terms

and conditions

• Ensure material is fit for purpose to enable safe stacking in freezer environment.

Labels or tape must be stable at -25°C

• Print to be as follows. Each face to have the same information printed as agreed
