Slovenia-based NiceLabel has developed a new free and easy to use online PTI (Produce Traceability Initiative) label printing application for produce suppliers.
The free online PTI label printing solution will allow produce suppliers to easily print PTI compliant labels by entering their variable data such as GTIN, lot, packing date, type and description into a simple web form.
The solution comprises pre-designed PTI label, which automatically generates the Voice Pick codes that permit warehouses to reach near-perfect traceability.
To help the industry achieve supply chain-wide adoption of electronic traceability for every case of produce, PTI is designed.
Effective from 1 January, 2014, all the produce suppliers of Wal-Mart need to use case labels compliant with the PTI standard and any items coming without the correct labeling will be rejected.
NiceLabel noted that Wal-Mart is the first player to make the move on suppliers, while it is the only labeling software developer offering a free online application to meet the Wal-Mart PTI mandate.
NiceLabel Americas vice president and general manager Lee Patty said, "In order to support produce suppliers in their effort to meet the case label requirements now that time is running out, NiceLabel has developed a free and simple tool that allows quick PTI compliant online printing."
