International Paper Roll & Package Label Specifications

International Paper Roll and Package Label Specifications
GCA Standard 132-1997

The first international industry standard for uniform labels on web paper in printing and publishing. The paper, printing, and publishing industries have their first international standard for paper roll labels, giving uniform guidelines for the design and location of human readable and bar coded information. The new standard label applies to rolls of paper shipped from paper mills to printers and newspapers in North America and Europe. Before the standard, paper mills printed human readable and bar coded information anywhere on the labels used for web paper. The International Paper Roll and Package Label Specifications offer a uniform design for printing the logo, roll identifier bar codes, critical roll description information, and optional data needed by individual customers or mills. It specifies roll identifier bar codes-either the North American Roll Identifier or European bar code standards-large enough for distance reading, to speed up unloading in warehouses. The standard, developed by the Joint Roll Identification and Label Committee, represented six leading paper, publishing, and printing organizations in North America. Staff from counterpart groups in Europe have also approved the standard. The document, available from GCA, includes samples of labels printed by impact and laser printers.
