Multi-coded Pallet Guidelines

Multi-coded Pallets (MCP’s) are where multiple use-by dates/batch codes of a given SKU are consolidated onto a single pallet, up to and including the standard full pallet quantity for that SKU, for distribution from a supplier to a retailer.

ECRA has updated and released guidelines for industry which detail the various requirements for trading partners looking to implement MCP’s and enjoy the benefits of doing so.  The ECRA MCP’s Guidelines were originally released in 2013 and have been updated in 2015 to include links to key information regarding GS1 Recallnet, and a case study highlighting the benefits of utilising MCP’s for retailers and suppliers.
