SCM

Since the early 1990’s, United Parcel Service (UPS) and other package delivery services have been using the MaxiCode barcode on virtually every package and shipment they make. With its distinctive “bulls-eye” locating pattern and one-inch square dimensions, the MaxiCode barcode contains an ANSI standard data record: the Structured Carrier Message (SCM). The data in an SCM provides critical shipper and package information and is used for both US Domestic and International deliveries.
