Barcoding Shipping Document Requirements

To help reduce receiving errors and improve timely payments, Carestream requires all suppliers, who ship material into our receiving locations, to provide bar-coded shipping labels for each shipment that reflect the shipping 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 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:

  1. Contact your local Carestream Purchasing representative to obtain more information on getting set up on EC Outlook for electronic invoicing and barcode labeling functionality at no cost.
  2. Obtain your own barcode functionality and printing equipment to produce our required barcoded data. See below for functional specifications required for formatting.
