Barcoding
To help reduce receiving errors and improve timely payments, Carestream Health is now requiring all suppliers, who ship material into our receiving locations, to provide bar-coded labels on each package that reflect the content and Purchase Order detail.
For those suppliers utilizing our eCommerce portal, EC Outlook, you already have the capability to create bar coded shipping labels on any printer with functionality provided by EC Outlook. If you have questions, please contact EC Outlook Customer Support directly at US (888) 557-8662, X-3, Outside US: (214)717-5900, X-3 or e-mail: ecoutlook@summatg.net.
To those suppliers not using EC Outlook, please review the specifications attached below. These will provide a complete overview of the necessary fields we will require in order to properly scan packages at any of our worldwide facilities. If you do not have the capability to create barcode labels currently, you can contact your local Carestream Health Purchasing representative to obtain more information on getting set up on EC Outlook or provide your own barcode labeling functionality.
