Introduction
This specifications file is a complement of the technical solution that you have chosen. This file describes
all the developments, tests and validation of the labels generated for the EDI solution and WebService
method WSI2_CreationExpédition.

Compliance with this file is mandatory as the quality of the label and bar code impact the operational
operation and process.

4
Basic rules
The label contains the main data to ensure the delivery process.

• Printing must be done on a white label. With a format: 10x15 or A5

• Inbound labels’ size (LCC) must be equal, at least, than the outbound shipment ones.
• Labels for France, Belgium and Luxembourg must be in French or English
• Labels for Spain must be in Spanish
• Labels for other countries must be in English
• Labels must be affixed to the largest side of the parcel

The barcode
Specifications
• Length : 26 digits
• Typology : Code 128
• Module : 0.42mm to 0.5mm.
• Dimensions :

Barcode width (including quiet zones)* 84 - 90mm

Barcode height 20 - 25mm

* the ITF code (2 of 5 interlaced) is also permitted

For the dimensions of the ITF Bar Code, silencing zones are not included

Barcode content
Information Number Comment
of digits

Brand 2 Constant defined by Mondial Relay

Shipment number 8 According to the range of shipment number defined by Mondial Relay

Parcel sequence 2 Sequence of parcel of shipment

Number of parcel 2 Total of parcels of shipment

Control digit 1 See the calculation of control digits

Agency code 4 Corresponds to MODEXP (in the sorting plan file)

Service code 1 Corresponds to SERVICE (example : 3 for the delivery mode 24R or
DRI)

Run number 5 Corresponds to DIRECTION (in the sorting plan file)

Control digit 1 See the calculation of control digits

The 26 digits barcode number must be displayed as in the following example:

XX XXXXXXXX XXXX X XXXX X XXXXX X

5
Control digits

The first control digit is calculated on the first 14 digits, namely, the brand, the shipment number, the
parcel sequence and the number of parcel.

The second control digit is calculated on the last 10 digits, namely, the agency code, the service code, and
the run number.

It’s a control character: base 11, calculated as in the following example:

Example with the barcode « 12123456780101X0662312345Y » where X and Y are the 2 control digits to
calculate:

“Y” calculation:

The Y calculation is based on the second part of the barcode (0662312345). You must use a series of
multipliers from 2 to 7 and beginning by the end of the barcode as in the below table:

Barcode (beginning from the end) Multipliers Result

5 2 10

4 3 12

3 4 12

2 5 10

1 6 6

3 7 21

2 2 4

6 3 18

6 4 24

0 5 0

Then you add all results (S)

• S = 10+12+12+10+6+21+4+18+24+0=117

Then you divide the sum (S) by 11 and keep the rest (R) :

• D = 117 / 11 = 10
• R= 7

Finally the control digit Y=11–R

• Y=11-7=4 donc Y=4

Nota bene :

• If Y=10, it should be treated as 0.

• Si Y=11, it should be treated as 0.

6
“X” calculation:

The method is exactly the same than for Y but with the 1st part of the barcode (12123456780101).

Barcode (beginning from the end) Multipliers Result

1 2 2

S=2+0+4+0+48+49+12+15+16+15+12+7+4+3=187

D=187/11=17

R=0

X=11-0=11, so X=0

Complete barcode:

So the complete barcode is: 12 12345678 0101 0 0662 3 12345 4

Additional barcode
If you add your own barcode (or QR code) on the label generated with the EDI solution or WebService
method WSI2_CreationExpédition. If you want to add a barcode, please send us the barcode specifications
so that we can validate it.

Here are the information we need to validate a barcode:

• Type :
• Minimum length ?
• Maximum length ?
• Format ? e.g: AAAAACNNNAAATTTTTC with:
A=Alphanumeric
T=Text
N=Numeric
C=control digit
• If it includes control digits please give its algorithm.
• Does it include specifics as fixed digits, etc.

Sender data
The sender area must include:

• The brand’s name for an outbound shipment or the final customer’s name for an inbound
shipment.
• The complete shipper address. If the shipper is the final customer (inbound shipments), then his
own address is expected in this area.

Consignee’s data
In the case of a 24R, 24L or DRI delivery:
• « Adresse du destinataire 1 » : It’s the consignee’s name and surname
• « Adresse du relais » (1 à 4) + « CP » and « ville » : It’s the address of the PUDO (Point Relais®)
• « Téléphone » : it’s a phone number (optional)
• « Données Complémentaires » : it’s additional data, example, order number, or customer number
(optional)

In the case of a LD1, LDS, HOM or LCC delivery:

• « Adresse du destinataire 1 » : It’s the consignee’s name and surname OR for a reverse (LCC) the
commercial wording
• « Adresse du destinataire » (2 à 4) + « CP » et « ville » :It’s the address of delivery
• « Téléphone » : it’s a phone number (optional)
• « Données Complémentaires » : it’s additional data, example, order number, or customer number
(optional)
•

8
Shipment data
The following characteristics of the shipment should appear in the following order on the label:

• Shipment number (8 digits)

• Date of receipt of parcel by Mondial Relay
• Collection agency (Your sales contact can send you this information)
• Weight (kg)
• Volume of shipment (Liters). If the volume is unknown, fill « NC »
• The parcel sequence and the parcel number. (example: 1/1)

For reverse shipments (reverse), we expect:

• Validity date of the reverse shipment (date of the pre advice file + 90 days)

Among the features of shipments, there are some shipments with and other without C.O.D (cash on
delivery). On the label, it should appear the words : « C.O.D.» with the amount in €uros with the currency
with a bold font (0€ if there is no C.O.D.) The word « Franco » is allowed in France for shipments without
C.O.D. (country code « FR »).

Below this information, it’s possible for you to add a line for your additional instructions (order number,
delivery point….) for the delivery (example: If missing, contact Mr Smith on 06.20.20.20.20)

Nota Bene: For the reverses (LCC), the sentence « Return label to stick on the original label (if present) »
should appear above the barcode.

Sorting arguments
The sorting arguments are provided by the sorting plan and pick-up point files. The sorting arguments
should appear in this order:

• Country Code / Group code = CPPAY position 50 / NOGROUP position 28

• Agency Code = MODEXP position 17
• Shuttle code = PRETRI position 31 + NAVETTE position 33
• Run Number = DIRECTION position 22
• Delivery Mode / Sequence number
• Wording agency = chapter « Wording agency »
• Mondial Relay’s logo or the words “Mondial Relay”.

Tests and Validations
Labels must be tested and validated by the Mondial Relay's technical departments before being used in
production. Labels used without validation can cause problems throughout the operational part. (Delays,
deliveries ...)

The tests are carried out in two stages:

- The first test, with a PDF label (and the preadvice file for EDI) by email
- The physical test, with a production label (printed by production printers) that you have to send
by mail at the address:
Mondial Relay
Service Intégration Technique Clients
9 Avenue Antoine Pinay
PA des 4 vents
59510 Hem
France

The validation consists (for the two tests) in checking the conformity of all the characteristics of this file.
(Formatting, content, compliance of information, etc.).

For the physical test, we also check the grade of the bar code which must comply with ISO 15416 « A » or
« B ».
