How to create Unit Pack labels

Exterior Container

Exterior Container labels are markings used to define the outermost packaging of a military shipment. An Exterior Container label may have an RFID inlay embedded into the label and be used as a dual purpose RFID/Exterior Container label.

Intermediate Container

Intermediate Container labels are only used when a shipment has three or more layers of packaging. Intermediate Container labels must go on containers inside Exterior Containers, and outside Unit Containers.

Unit Container

Unit Container labels are used for the innermost packaging of a military shipment.

Generating Serial Numbers

If you have a long list of serial numbers that are sequential, you can use the Serial Number Generator. Click the Generate button to open the Serial Number Generator window. You will be prompted to enter the mask used to generate serial numbers. To generate a sequential serial number, use the following mask characters:

[...] - specifies a range or set

example: [0-9A-Z]

{n,v,f} - specifies size of the range, starting value and fill character, where:

• • n - specifies the maximum number of occurrences (default is 1)

  • v - specifies the starting value for the range (defaults to the first value in the range)

  • f - specifies an optional fill character (defaults to blank, ie not padded on the left)

example: [0-9]{1,3,0}

+ - specifies that the range will be incremented when the subsequent range wraps

example: [0-9]{2}+...[0-9]{5}

\ - Escapes a mask character, turning it into a literal. "\\" is the escape sequence for a backslash.
