Association for the Advancement of Shipping Label Technology

Who We Are

We bridge the gap between technology providers, carriers, and regulatory bodies. We represent the engineers, platforms, and manufacturers who ensure the "digital handshake" between shipper and carrier happens seamlessly. From API developers to thermal printer manufacturers, we are the digital bridge connecting the global supply chain.

Industry Advocacy: A unified voice to major carriers and regulators regarding compliance, rate changes, and label specifications.
Standardization: Creating open standards for data exchange, barcode symbology, and API interoperability.
Education & Insight: Decoding complex carrier requirements and technical mandates for our members.
Networking: Fostering a collaborative community where industry leaders solve universal challenges.

Core Values

Interoperability: Technology works best when it speaks the same language. We champion open standards.

Accuracy: A single digit makes the difference between "delivered" and "lost." We prioritize precision.

Innovation: We embrace the evolution of the label, from 1D barcodes to RFID and digital-ink.

Transparency: We advocate for clear communication between carriers and vendors to eliminate surprise mandates.
