Who needs verified labels?

The Product Traceability Initiative Label, also known as the PTI Label, is an industry-wide effort to label and track produce from the field to the grocery store.

This traceability process allows produce to be quickly and efficiently tracked by scanning a barcode label, adhered to produce cases from the grower’s field, all the way to the grocery store.

Barcode Factory offers everything you need to create, design, and print PTI labels that meet GS1 standards and make it from the "field to the fork".
