About GS1Trade Image
GS1Trade Image is a service that provides product images in accordance with the
GDSN standard. The image package is a standard package which includes both planogram and marketing images. The number of images and their angles will vary
with the packaging type. This will be described in more detail in this guide.
The image package is developed and maintained in cooperation with the GS1Trade
Service Working Group and steering committee with input from GS1Trade Sync members. European and global GS1 groups will also be involved in collaboration on the general maintenance and updating of the image standard. The image package
applies to and is used by retailers on the Danish market who are active in the GS1Trade Service working group and steering committee.
The rights to pictures taken by GS1Trade Image belong to the individual data supplier.
Read more about prices and terms at www.gs1.dk/priser under GS1Trade Image.
GS1Trade Image does not maintain or delete images in GS1Trade Sync. However, any existing images with the same names will be overwritten when using the service.
About images in GS1Trade Sync
You can upload images in GS1Trade Sync using the tab “Referenced File Detail
Information” or by including URL references to images in files submitted to GS1Trade Sync. Please note that the links must be open and not require username + password.
However, the retailers have chosen not to receive images from other parties than approved photographers, such as GS1Trade Image, which means that they cannot use them in marketing contexts or for space planning (planogram). You can contact
GS1Trade Image for more information.
If suppliers are able to deliver their own professional product images, they can be
certified in the applicable image specifications and provide their own images which will be automatically redistributed to data recipients. Certification is a non-recurring process that remains valid for as long as the specifications are met. If the certification
is revoked, it will require a new certification process, including invoicing, to become certified again. Read more about this later in this guide.
Please contact GS1Denmark for further details about certification in image specifications for the Danish market.

Included in the standard package
Marketing image(s) of base unit
Planogram images of base unit
Planogram images of the first pack item if it is in display-ready packaging
Please note:
Photographs will not be taken of pack units that are not in display-ready packaging
Planogram pictures will not be taken of more than one display-ready pack unit per product.
Please note
In order for GS1Trade Image to deliver the ordered product photos, the relevant
product must be created and published in GS1Trade Sync.
The product images from GS1Trade Image reflect the delivered physical products. This means that you should avoid unnecessary use of tape, etc., on the submitted
products wherever possible (particularly display-ready pack units) as this may make it impossible to take useful product photos.
Products that can be cooked/prepared will not be prepared, but photographed as
delivered.
GS1Trade Image may assess that plastic, etc., around the product must be removed
to produce a satisfactory image without reflections.

Mixed modules will be processed as base units. This means that marketing and

packaging, planogram pictures will be taken as for normal base units.

Marketing images of pack units
In GS1Trade Image, you can select marketing images of a pack unit as an additional
service, which we call “Case marketing”. These are not part of the “Image” standard package.
When selecting this service, marketing photos will be taken of the pack unit according to packaging type.
See the price for ”Case marketing” in the price list at www.gs1.dk/priser

Split packs
Split packs are packs in display-ready packaging which must be split up or processed
in order to be displayed on a shelf.
Planogram photos will be taken of a single unit after being split up.

If images are requested in addition to packshots, such as images promoting or
displaying a product in a particular setting, GS1Trade Image offers staged images.

Marketing images of alcohol in tube or box
GS1Trade Image takes two marketing photos of the following product type/packaging.
GTIN_C1N1 GTIN_C1N0 (0=zero)
The images must reflect the product as delivered, but pictures are also taken of the
bottle when removed from the packaging/tube box.
C1N0 (zero) indicates that the product is out of the packaging.
For non-circular gift boxes containing alcohol, pictures are taken of the gift box according to the overview, as well as one marketing image of the bottle removed from the packaging.
This requires that the gift box is labelled with a GTIN created and published in GS1Trade Sync.

If you can provide your own professional product images
As a general rule, Salling Group, Dagrofa and Coop Danmark can only be expected to
accept marketing and planogram pictures taken by GS1Trade Image, with some exceptions (contact your customer for more details).
If you have your own photographer, GS1 can certify the person as an approved photographer. This is done by GS1 reviewing the requirements and specifications to
be met by the images, before verifying images of 10 products. After approval, the photographer will be certified and subsequently allowed to upload images to GS1Trade Sync which are automatically redistributed to the data recipients. The images will
indicate the sender.
Read more about prices and terms for certification as an approved photographer at
www.gs1.dk/priser under GS1Trade Image.
Product photos based on artwork
When launching new products, images may be required before the product has been manufactured. Both a planogram image for space planning and a product image for
marketing use.
In such cases, GS1Trade Image offers a solution with a graphically rendered image based on packaging + artwork.
If a product with the same packaging type is available, the image will be based on this, with digital manipulation of the new artwork. If the packaging is also new, it may
be necessary to make a dummy of the new packaging.
Digital artwork images are ordered in the order form, and artwork must also be uploaded here at the same time.
19
Time-limited images:
The specifications for product images allow you to state an end date after which the
image is no longer current. This may be applicable for seasonal goods, special campaign layouts for goods, etc.
The end date is stated in the naming of the file, with the format: GTIN_xxxx_mmyy, with mm indicating month and yy indicating year.
Example:
Here, the image to the right will cease to be current on 1 January 09. The image to
the left does not have an end date.
Images with indicated end dates facilitate periodical management of images. GS1 will not withdraw non-current images.
