Unit-load and packaging products: Liberty
Technologies, a Millwood Inc. company and
a supplier of unit-load and packaging systems and materials, has introduced four new
packaging and material handling products.
According to the company, the new products
support the company’s unit-load concept,
which considers the interaction between

equipment.
The new products include:
b The Liberty Stretch Wrapper, which is
designed for both general-purpose and extra-
tough applications.

for assembly, loading, or lifting applications.
A variety of tabletop sizes and attachments
are available for the lifter.

GS1 data hub: A new online tool from GS1
US, called the GS1 US Data Hub, will make
it possible for retailers, e-tailers, data pools,
solution providers, and a variety of application
developers to access the detailed information
associated with GS1 Company Prefixes—the
specific combination of numbers embedded
in GS1 identifiers and bar codes to identify a
company. The GS1 US Data Hub is also available via an application programming interface
(API) developer portal.
The GS1 US Data Hub can help users validate their internal information against the
GS1 US Company Prefix database. It also
provides a trusted source of standardized GS1
US data that can be used in both physical and
digital channels. Users can review active as
well as inactive Company Prefixes issued by
GS1 US and verify new trading partners to
prevent counterfeit products from being sold.
The data hub will also create efficiencies by
reducing the need to re-key information into
existing systems.
GS1 US Data Hub users can download files
and information to use and integrate with
other applications. GS1 Company Prefixes can
be searched in a variety of ways, including
company name, Global Trade Item Number
(GTIN), and Global Location Number (GLN).
