  • (1888PressRelease) August 10, 2011 - Norprint today announced they are the first company to achieve GS1 UK certification, in the Logistics Labels category, for their WLP2 labelling software solution.

    Additionally the company is now a fully GS1 UK accredited Solution Partner, which validates their knowledge of GS1 standards and their ability to provide bar code solutions based on them.

    Norprint's certified logistics labelling solution is comprised of a print, ship and validate solution for hardware such as label printers and barcode scanners, software such as label design and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). It is also scalable with the ability to be integrated into a host of third party systems.

    It is designed for industries such as food and beverage, manufacturing, warehousing, freight & transport and any company involved in the shipping of products. It also incorporates ASN/SSCC (Advanced Shipping Notification) guidelines which are specified by large retailers in particular to ensure products arrive in the correct quantities at the correct destination.

    The GS1 logistics labelling standards framework enables faster goods delivery, improved inventory management and fewer errors, leading to reduced costs and increased productivity.

    GS1 UK Partner Programme Manager, Steve Watson said: "I am pleased to announce Norprint are the first company to achieve certification in the Logistics Labels category. As accredited Solution Partners, GS1 UK members can be certain that the company has excellent knowledge and understanding of GS1 standards. Norprint's certified solution and their new status as a GS1 UK Solution Partner makes them very attractive to users that want to deploy GS1standards based logistics labelling solutions."

    Chris Powell, Norprint's Sales and Marketing Manager said "I am delighted that we are the first company in the UK to certify a solution in this category. We are at the forefront of logistics labelling and this accreditation gives us yet another accolade, as we continuously strive to bring our customers leading edge solutions that take cost out of their business. We have been committed to GS1 UK standards for a long time and work closely with them in many areas of our business. "

    Chris also paid credit to the team of four that undertook demanding training in order to assist the company in achieving partner status: "I am extremely proud of them, they passed the rigorous exams with flying colours and their knowledge of barcode applications and symbologies built up over the years shone through."

    The WLP2 solution was developed in-house by Norprint and is a dynamic product which has continuous investment from the company. The software in particular is upgraded regularly, which ensures customers are kept up to date with the latest labelling formats and symbologies. Norprint are a well known leading player in this field, valued for their in-house barcode expertise which began when barcodes were first introduced in the UK in the 1970's.
