Pet Industry Guidelines for Product ID, Labels and Shipments (GPID)

Productivity is not really about the latest technology it is really about being a good partner. Good partners use a modest amount of technology like the Internet, Bar Codes (and perhaps RFID) to enable the flow of information up and down the supply chain. Most importantly, good partners use standards to communicate information so they can avoid the cost of special conditions for each of their trading partners.

The Pet Industry wants all its members, large and small, distributors and manufacturers to thrive. The Partners in Productivity Program enables our members to:

Have one common Internet location containing the latest information about guidelines for product identification, labeling and shipments.
Present the information in an easily digestible form
Provide foundation and implementation information for those just beginning their involvement
Explain general concepts and benefits so trading partners and have a common vision to establish common goals
