The Open 3P data standard is to provide information about what packaging is made out of and how these materials flow through the packaging supply chain. With Open 3P, stakeholders in the packaging supply chain will be able to share information about materials, components and packaging in a standardised format. This will allow for better collaboration between manufacturers, brands, retailers, consumers, recyclers, compliance schemes and regulators.
The diagram below can help you to visualise how information might flow across the packaging supply chain using Open 3P. The standard supports data exchange between necessary parties whilst preserving a single source of truth across the industry.

Controlled Lists serve as reference points for key terms and phrases that are commonly used in the packaging industry, which are maintained and administred by the Standard Custodian Board (SCB)
Relationship lists are user-defined lists used in data standards to specify the relationships between different data elements. Unlike controlled lists relationship lists are populated by the user to provide context and clarity to the data being recorded
In information science and information technology, single source of truth (SSOT) architecture, or single point of truth (SPOT) architecture, for information systems is the practice of structuring information models and associated data schemas such that every data element is mastered (or edited) in only one place.
Here, we show examples of how data could flow using the open standard. This tells the story of how wine bottles are created with a packaging manufacturer, how that packaging manufacturer sends their packaging to a packer/filler and then how that packer/filler will put packaging together, filled with a product and then send them to a retailer. The eight flow diagrams below compliment each other to build a complete picture.
+
+
Shared responsiblity
+
When viewing the flows below be aware that no single individual and/or organisation is responsible for the entire data capture.
+It is the intent of Open 3P that experts in their part of the value chain are repsonsible for it’s adherence to the data.
At its most basic Open 3P allows the minimal amount of infomation to be passed along. In this example cardboard is using used as the base material, then again as the material and also as the component. At the component step the cardboard box is combined with tape to create a complete package ready to be filled by a product before being sent out on a load.
+
Although some items used within the packaging value chains are simple, others are complex. Open 3P allows the combination of items at each schema level. In the example bellow a packaging tape is created by the combination of cellulose and adhesive. This is the used in conjunction with the cardboard box to create the complete packaging.
+
Within the packaging value chain items are combined in different arrangements to create similar or completely distinct items. This can been seen below where the same sand and soda ash are used to make the two different types of glass; soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass. This information can be passed through the value chain, providing additional insights for stakeholders, clients and customers.
+
Taken as a whole the cardboard, tape and glass are combined at various points to create a wine delivery. With the addition of cork and aluminium all the materials and components can be seen.
+
The Open 3P standards allows further complexity when combining items within a schema. This is seen below where the two materials label and ‘ssolvent free print substrate’ are futher combined to create a ‘printed label’.
+
Additionally base materials and materials can be layered in an ordered arrangement; known as lamination. In the example three base materials are layered together to create a laminate. Two of the materials are used twice within the material, with the third only being used the once.
+
This final example shows how the above examples are combined to create a flow for the wine bottles, with the inclusion of tiers for the packaging at the load schema.
+
The Open 3P data standard has been designed to facilitate seamless data exchange both within and between organisations. While the standard supports various file formats, including text files, CSV, and popular spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, or Open Office, it’s important to note that leveraging the standard solely through these formats might not fully harness its potential within the dynamic packaging value chain.
+
Given the intricacies of the packaging value chain, the optimal utilisation of the standard is achieved when it is integrated into a software solution, such as a web, desktop, or mobile application. By incorporating the standard into a dedicated software solution, organisations can unlock its complete functionality and realise its maximum benefits. Such an approach enables efficient data management, enhances collaboration, and streamlines processes across the entire value chain.
+
By embracing the Open 3P data standard through a software solution, organisations can harness its power to drive innovation, improve data accuracy, and ensure seamless interoperability among stakeholders. This approach will enable the packaging industry to overcome challenges, make informed decisions, and pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient future.

All measurements should be given using the metric system.
+
+
Weight: grams (g)
+
+
Numbers should be entered with a decimal place. Use the decimal / full stop / period character as a separator. Do not exceed 3 decimal places. When rounding, use convential rounding methods: for 5 and above round up, 4 and below round down. For example: volume = 0.67952 rounded to 0.68.
+
Important: When converting between systems of measurement, perform the conversion first and then apply the convential rounding. This will give more accuracy and consistency.

+
recommended

Numeric
+
The minimum allowable percent of how much recycled content is included in the makeup of the component. t is ‘required’ for plastic packaging where for the purposes of this standard we refer to UK’s HM Revenue & Customs definition of recycled content. “Recycled plastic is plastic that has been reprocessed from recovered material by using a chemical or manufacturing process. This is so it can be used either for its original purpose or for other purposes. This does not include organic recycling. Recovered material is pre-consumer plastic or post-consumer plastic that both: a) is no longer suitable to be used in the process from which it was generated and would otherwise have been used for energy recovery (for example, by incineration) or disposed of as waste (for example, by being sent to landfill); b) has been collected and recovered for use as a material input for a recycling or manufacturing process, instead of new primary material”
All measurements should be given using the metric system.
+
+
Height: millimetre (mm)
+
Width: millimetre (mm)
+
Length: millimetre (mm)
+
Volume: cubic metre (m3)
+
Weight: grams (g)
+
Weight Tolerance: percent (%)
+
+
Numbers should be entered with a decimal place. Use the decimal / full stop / period character as a separator. Do not exceed 3 decimal places. When rounding, use convential rounding methods: for 5 and above round up, 4 and below round down. For example: volume = 0.67952 rounded to 0.68.
+
Important: When converting between systems of measurement, perform the conversion first and then apply the convential rounding. This will give more accuracy and consistency.
Prior caputuring measurements, first determine the default front of the component, this is similar to GS1 (Note: GS1 rules are specified only for complete packaging and not components. Therefore, there are subtle differences to convert from taking a measurement for the complete packaging versus a component). In this standard, as with GS1, the default front is the face with the largest surface area, where area is equal to the width times the height.
+
Important: Determining of default front provides a consistent, repeatable process to find measurements for a given component.
+
+
Figure 1: An example for finding the default front of a component. The default front is the face of the with the largest area (Area = width X height)
+
Some components have the same surface area, thus more than one possible front. These components can be presented both vertically and horizontally. If a component has more than one possible front, the highest side is considered to be the default front.
+
Note: Calculating the area for a rectangular component is simple. However, for non-rectangular components (for example, components with a cylindrical or irregular form), the method to calculate the area is:
+
+
First break the component into multiple sides. Then, for:
+
a round component: do not use (=pi*r^2) to calculate the area. Instead, draw “two dimensional” rectangles around the round component’s sides and then calculate the area for each side.
+
any other shape component: draw a “two dimensional” rectangle around the sides of the component, and then calculate the area for each side.
+
+
+
The side with the maximum area then becomes the default front of that component.
+
+
+
Figure 2: An example for finding the default front of an irregular shaped component. After drawing rectangles around the component, the default front is the face of the with the largest surface area (Area = width X height)
+
Measuring the height, width, and depth of a component¶
+
After the default front has been determined, as with GS1, it is possible to determine the height, width, and depth of a component.
+
+
For rectangular components:
+
Height: from the base to the top
+
Width: from the left to the right
+
Depth: from the front to the back
+
+
+
+
+
Figure 3: Example of measuring the height, width, and depth for a rectangular component.
+
Note: If there are two different measurements for the height, width, or depth, always report the maximum measurement.
+
+
Figure 4: Example of reporting the maximum width, when there are two different size widths. Here, the width reported would be 12 mm because it is larger than the 8 mm. Additionally, there are two different sized depths. Here, the 9 mm depth would be reported because it is larger than the 5 mm depth.
+
+
+
For irregular shaped components:
+Similar to finding the default front of an irregularly shaped component, draw a “three dimensional” rectangle around the component.
+
+
Height: from the base to the top
+
Width: from the left to the right
+
Depth: from the front to the back
+
+
+
+
For unformed, flexible components:
+
+
Take the measurements as if the component was fully formed and filled.
+
+
+
+
For standing components:
+
+
Height: from the flat surface to the top most point
+
Width: from the left-most point to the right-most point
+
Depth: from the default front to the farthest opposite surface
+
+
+
+
For components with leaning or irregular verticlas:
+
+
Height: from the flat surface to the top most point (parallel to the vertex)
+
Width: from the left most point to the right most point
+
Depth: from the default front to the farthest opposite surface
+
+
+
+
For components that are cylindrical:
+
+
For cylindrical items two dimensions will be nominally equal. Which dimensions are equal is determined by the result of determination of the default front.
As with providing measurements, please first find the default front of the component. The image capturing process and naming convention is similar to GS1. As with measurements, we altered the gs1 standard for capturing the component.
For the purposes of this standard, we define the differences between photographic and rendered images. Note: both types are accepted but the naming convention will differ based on image type so that images have unique names and do not having naming conflicts.
+
+
Photographic image: the result of the electronic or chemical capture of a likeness of a physical object with the use of a camera.
+
Rendered image: the result of the creation of a digital likeness of a physical object with the use of a computer and software.
After determining the default front, the possible faces, in relation to the default front, are:
+1. Default Front
+2. Left
+3. Top
+7. Back
+8. Right
+9. Bottom

Identifiers are the way that humans and machines can know that a particular thing is that thing. In the context of Open 3P, there are different ways of talking about the various things involved. A packaging manufacturer may refer to a particular bottle as ‘small clear bottle’, but a filler may know it as ‘500 ml clear bottle’. In a database it may be recorded as ‘0.5L PET Bottle’. While these are all referring to the same thing, it could be hard for a human to know that they are the same, and pretty much impossible for a computer.
+
To help get around this, we use identifiers. These are codes that we use to unambiguously reference a particular thing. Within the Open 3P data standard we need to uniquely identify every entry. Each record in each schema needs to have an identifier. Since the packaging supply chain is global, the Open 3P data standard needs to be global and thus the unique identifier also needs to be global. We are therefore using the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) standard methodology to (probabilistically) guarantee uniqueness.
+
+
A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit label used for information in computer systems. The term globally unique identifier (GUID) is also used.

+ Case 20: h = Hex(Rnd * 3 + 8)
+ Case Else: h = Hex(Rnd * 15)
+ End Select
+ Mid$(GUID, k, 1) = h
+ Next
+ If lowercase Then GUID = LCase$(GUID)
+ If parens Then GUID = "{" & GUID & "}"

Controlled lists are essential components of open data standards used to establish consistency in data entry and ensure that the data is accurate and high quality. They serve as reference points for key terms and phrases that are commonly used in the packaging industry.
+
By using controlled lists, data contributors are able to select from a predefined set of terms instead of entering free-text, which can result in inconsistencies and errors. This helps to maintain data integrity and reduces the risk of inaccuracies that can lead to costly mistakes.
+
Controlled lists also enable easy querying and reporting of data across the packaging supply chain. This is because each term in the list has a standardised definition and value, which allows for more precise comparisons between materials, packages and loads.
+
Overall, controlled lists play a vital role in ensuring that data is reliable and can be easily analyzed, leading to more informed decision-making and better outcomes for all stakeholders in the packaging industry.

Relationship lists are user-defined lists used in data standards to specify the relationships between different data elements. Unlike controlled lists, which are predefined within the data standard, relationship lists are populated by the user to provide context and clarity to the data being recorded.
+
For example, in the packaging industry, a relationship list could be used to specify the relationship between a component and its associated material or between a complete package and its components. By defining these relationships, the user can ensure that the data is consistent and accurate, which can help to improve decision-making, analysis, and reporting.
+
Relationship lists are flexible and can be customized to fit the needs of different users and applications, making them a powerful tool for managing complex data sets. However, they require careful planning and management to ensure that they are used consistently across the supply chain and that they remain relevant and up-to-date over time.
The material constituents relationship list identifies the base_material and other materials that are combined to create materials. This is only used in materials.
A globally unique identifier. See identifiers section for information on how to construct this identifier
+
+
+
materialCombinationIdentifier
+

+
String
+
The unique identifier of the materials that this component is made of. There must be an equivalent record in the Base_Materials OR Materials data.
+
+
+
materialPurpose
+
recommended
+
String
+
Why is this base material or material being used? Use the identifier of the material purpose that this row relates to. The entry here should be drawn from the Material Purpose Controlled List.
+
+
+
virginMaterial
+
recommended
+
Numeric
+
The maximum allowable percent of the material that was newly created for the material.
+
+
+
layer
+
recommended
+
Numeric
+
The layer associated with the material. The inner most layer (the layer closest to the product) denoted as 1, and the outermost layer is the biggest number.
+
+
+
materialPercentage
+
recommended
+
Numeric
+
The percentage of the total materials making-up the material. For every unique material, materialPercentage should add to 100%.
The complete packaging constituents relationship list identifies the components and other complete packaging that are combined to create complete packages. This is only used in complete packaging.
A globally unique identifier. See identifiers section for information on how to construct this identifier
+
+
+
completePackagingCombinationIdentifier
+
required
+
String
+
The unique identifier of the components and/or complete packaging that this complete packaging is made of. There must be an equivalent record in the Components OR Complete Packaging data.
The multipack constituents relationship list identifies the complete packaging items that are combined to create multipacks. This is only used in multipack.
A globally unique identifier. See identifiers section for information on how to construct this identifier
+
+
+
multipackCombinationIdentifier
+
required
+
String
+
The unique identifier of components and/or complete packaging that this multipack is made of. There must be an equivalent record in the Components OR Complete Packaging data.
The recyclability claims relationship list identifies organisations and schemes that provide the recyclability claims. This is used in the following schemas:
The component end of life routes relationship list identifies the purposed and intended destination and process of this component once it has completed its role as packaging. This is only used in components.
The complete packaging end of life routes relationship list identifies the purposed and intended destination and process of this complete packaging once it has completed its role as packaging. This is only used in complete packaging.
A globally unique identifier. See identifiers section for information on how to construct this identifier
+
+
+
completePackagingEndOfLifeRoute
+
recommended
+
String
+
What is the intended end of life route for this complete packaging. The entry should be the end of life route controlled list identifier. To be filled in when complete packaging has an intended end of life route AS complete packaging, otherwise only fill out at component level.
+
+
+
orderOfPrecedence
+
recommended
+
Numeric
+
The order that end of life routes should be used. The preferred route denoted as 1, and the last best option being the biggest number.
The Open 3P data standard has been developed to answer the data needs of the packaging industry. To ensure that the standard represents all stakeholders a comprehensive set of governance arrangements has been developed - to maintain trust, integrity and fairness.
+
Open Data Manchester (ODM) is a not-for-profit organisation that acts as the Data Standard Holding Body (DSHB) for Open 3P. It holds the intellectual property rights (IP) of the Open 3P data standard and is an independent and neutral entity, that has no stake in the packaging industry. It is a Community Interest Company (CIC) that has an ‘asset lock’, a legal mechanism that prevents predatory take over of its assets by third parties.
+
ODM’s role as the DSHB is four-fold.
+
+
It holds the standard in an asset-lock.
+
It develops and maintains the standard on behalf of the Standard Custodian Board (SCB).
+
It provides secretariat services to the SCB.
+
It provides support services to individuals and organisations that want to adopt and exploit the potential of the data standard.
+
+
The SCB ensures that the standard is developed for and on-behalf of the packaging value chain. The board consists of industry stakeholders, domain and technical experts and is chaired by ODM. The board is elected through an open process with board members holding post for a maximum of three continuous years before stepping down.
+
Development of the standard follows a strict governance process where changes are either submitted to the board through the DSHB, the SCB itself or through external petition. Changes are assessed and if deemed to be beneficial are circulated for consultation. After the consultation period expires, the changes are then re-assessed and adopted if agreed. The SCB then mandates the DSHB to implement the change.

Open 3P is an open standard for packaging data for the packaging industry, which is being developed by Open Data Manchester in collaboration with over 120 individuals from 70 organisations across the packaging supply chain. The goal of Open 3P is to establish a common language for exchanging and sharing data related to packaging materials and processes, which will help to improve transparency and accountability in the industry.
With Open 3P, stakeholders in the packaging supply chain will be able to share information about materials, components and packaging in a standardised format. This will allow for better collaboration between manufacturers, retailers, recyclers, regulators, and consumers. By creating a common understanding of the materials and processes involved in packaging, it will be easier to identify opportunities for reducing waste, increasing efficiency, and improving sustainability throughout the supply chain.
The first phase of the project brought together stakeholders from the entire packaging ecosystem to explore how we might create the foundations for systemic change in the packaging value chain. We had more than 120 individuals from over 70 organisations take part in our workshops, interviews and research and we are incredibly grateful to them for sharing their time, expertise and support.
Open 3P is based on the principles of open data, which means that it is freely accessible, sharable, and usable by anyone. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different contexts and use cases, so that it can evolve over time as new technologies and practices emerge. The development of Open 3P is guided by the OpenStand principles of:
Due process
Broad consensus
Transparency
Balance
Openness
which ensure that the standard is developed in a fair and inclusive manner, and that all stakeholders have a voice in the process.
Overall, Open 3P represents an important step forward for the packaging industry, as it provides a foundation for greater transparency and collaboration across the supply chain. By adopting a common language for sharing and exchanging data, stakeholders will be able to work together more effectively to reduce waste, improve sustainability, and create a more circular economy.
"},{"location":"1_Start_Here/1_1_Introduction/#what-is-an-open-data-standard","title":"What is an open data standard?","text":"
An open data standard is a set of guidelines that dictate the structure and composition of data. It enables people and organisations to communicate data about the same topic using the same language. Standardisation of data structure ensures consistency, comparability and interconnectivity. Open data standards are publicly accessible and can be used by anyone. This makes it easy to understand, share, and reuse data that has been published and shared by others. As a result of open data standards, multiple organisations can collaborate and create a larger and more comprehensive dataset when they publish data about the same topic. By adhering to a set of open standards, data can be shared more efficiently, allowing for greater collaboration, analysis and discovery.
"},{"location":"1_Start_Here/1_1_Introduction/#how-is-the-standard-being-developed","title":"How is the standard being developed?","text":"
The initial standard development was funded by Innovate UK, and is being developed through workshops with industry experts over a number of iterations. The project patners were OPRL Open Data Manchester, Dsposal, RECOUP, and Ecosurety.
"},{"location":"1_Start_Here/1_1_Introduction/#how-to-use-the-standard","title":"How to use the standard","text":"
To use the Open 3P standard, start by familiarising yourself with the terms and definitions outlined in the standard. These are used to describe the structure and components of packaging and the packaging supply chain. Next, map your data to the standard by using the terms and definitions as a guide. This will ensure that your data is consistent and can be easily shared and understood by others who are also using the standard.
It\u2019s important to note that the Open 3P standard is not a technology or platform, but rather a set of rules and guidelines for how to structure data related to packaging. It is used to help people create technology, applications, and integrations that can work together to improve transparency and sustainability in the packaging industry. By using the Open 3P standard, you can ensure that your data is accurate, consistent, and interoperable with other systems that also use the standard.
The Open 3P data standard is to provide information about what packaging is made out of and how these materials flow through the packaging supply chain. With Open 3P, stakeholders in the packaging supply chain will be able to share information about materials, components and packaging in a standardised format. This will allow for better collaboration between manufacturers, brands, retailers, consumers, recyclers, compliance schemes and regulators.
The diagram below can help you to visualise how information might flow across the packaging supply chain using Open 3P. The standard supports data exchange between necessary parties whilst preserving a single source of truth across the industry.
Controlled Lists serve as reference points for key terms and phrases that are commonly used in the packaging industry, which are maintained and administred by the Standard Custodian Board (SCB)
Relationship lists are user-defined lists used in data standards to specify the relationships between different data elements. Unlike controlled lists relationship lists are populated by the user to provide context and clarity to the data being recorded
A machine readable unique identifier generated for an entry conforming to the standard
UUIDs improve data flow by assigning an unambiguous tag to your data
These IDs are then used to link between layers of the standard e.g. to link components to complete packaging
"},{"location":"1_Start_Here/1_2_Key_Concepts/#single-source-of-truth","title":"Single Source of Truth","text":"
In information science and information technology, single source of truth (SSOT) architecture, or single point of truth (SPOT) architecture, for information systems is the practice of structuring information models and associated data schemas such that every data element is mastered (or edited) in only one place.
Here, we show examples of how data could flow using the open standard. This tells the story of how wine bottles are created with a packaging manufacturer, how that packaging manufacturer sends their packaging to a packer/filler and then how that packer/filler will put packaging together, filled with a product and then send them to a retailer. The eight flow diagrams below compliment each other to build a complete picture.
Shared responsiblity
When viewing the flows below be aware that no single individual and/or organisation is responsible for the entire data capture. It is the intent of Open 3P that experts in their part of the value chain are repsonsible for it\u2019s adherence to the data.
At its most basic Open 3P allows the minimal amount of infomation to be passed along. In this example cardboard is using used as the base material, then again as the material and also as the component. At the component step the cardboard box is combined with tape to create a complete package ready to be filled by a product before being sent out on a load.
"},{"location":"1_Start_Here/1_3_Data_Flow/#combining-items-to-make-complex-items","title":"Combining items to make complex items","text":"
Although some items used within the packaging value chains are simple, others are complex. Open 3P allows the combination of items at each schema level. In the example bellow a packaging tape is created by the combination of cellulose and adhesive. This is the used in conjunction with the cardboard box to create the complete packaging.
Within the packaging value chain items are combined in different arrangements to create similar or completely distinct items. This can been seen below where the same sand and soda ash are used to make the two different types of glass; soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass. This information can be passed through the value chain, providing additional insights for stakeholders, clients and customers.
"},{"location":"1_Start_Here/1_3_Data_Flow/#creating-a-load","title":"Creating a load","text":"
Taken as a whole the cardboard, tape and glass are combined at various points to create a wine delivery. With the addition of cork and aluminium all the materials and components can be seen.
The Open 3P standards allows further complexity when combining items within a schema. This is seen below where the two materials label and \u2018ssolvent free print substrate\u2019 are futher combined to create a \u2018printed label\u2019.
Additionally base materials and materials can be layered in an ordered arrangement; known as lamination. In the example three base materials are layered together to create a laminate. Two of the materials are used twice within the material, with the third only being used the once.
This final example shows how the above examples are combined to create a flow for the wine bottles, with the inclusion of tiers for the packaging at the load schema.
The Open 3P data standard has been designed to facilitate seamless data exchange both within and between organisations. While the standard supports various file formats, including text files, CSV, and popular spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, or Open Office, it\u2019s important to note that leveraging the standard solely through these formats might not fully harness its potential within the dynamic packaging value chain.
Given the intricacies of the packaging value chain, the optimal utilisation of the standard is achieved when it is integrated into a software solution, such as a web, desktop, or mobile application. By incorporating the standard into a dedicated software solution, organisations can unlock its complete functionality and realise its maximum benefits. Such an approach enables efficient data management, enhances collaboration, and streamlines processes across the entire value chain.
By embracing the Open 3P data standard through a software solution, organisations can harness its power to drive innovation, improve data accuracy, and ensure seamless interoperability among stakeholders. This approach will enable the packaging industry to overcome challenges, make informed decisions, and pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient future.
The base materials schema contains information regarding the core materials. These are then combined together within the materials table to create more complicated materials.

"},{"location":"3_Data_Specification/3_3_Components/#default-front-of-a-component","title":"Default Front of a component","text":"
Prior caputuring measurements, first determine the default front of the component, this is similar to GS1 (Note: GS1 rules are specified only for complete packaging and not components. Therefore, there are subtle differences to convert from taking a measurement for the complete packaging versus a component). In this standard, as with GS1, the default front is the face with the largest surface area, where area is equal to the width times the height.
Important: Determining of default front provides a consistent, repeatable process to find measurements for a given component.
Figure 1: An example for finding the default front of a component. The default front is the face of the with the largest area (Area = width X height)
Some components have the same surface area, thus more than one possible front. These components can be presented both vertically and horizontally. If a component has more than one possible front, the highest side is considered to be the default front.
Note: Calculating the area for a rectangular component is simple. However, for non-rectangular components (for example, components with a cylindrical or irregular form), the method to calculate the area is:
First break the component into multiple sides. Then, for:
a round component: do not use (=pi*r^2) to calculate the area. Instead, draw \u201ctwo dimensional\u201d rectangles around the round component\u2019s sides and then calculate the area for each side.
any other shape component: draw a \u201ctwo dimensional\u201d rectangle around the sides of the component, and then calculate the area for each side.
The side with the maximum area then becomes the default front of that component.
Figure 2: An example for finding the default front of an irregular shaped component. After drawing rectangles around the component, the default front is the face of the with the largest surface area (Area = width X height)
"},{"location":"3_Data_Specification/3_3_Components/#measuring-the-height-width-and-depth-of-a-component","title":"Measuring the height, width, and depth of a component","text":"
After the default front has been determined, as with GS1, it is possible to determine the height, width, and depth of a component.
For rectangular components:
Height: from the base to the top
Width: from the left to the right
Depth: from the front to the back
Figure 3: Example of measuring the height, width, and depth for a rectangular component.
Note: If there are two different measurements for the height, width, or depth, always report the maximum measurement.
Figure 4: Example of reporting the maximum width, when there are two different size widths. Here, the width reported would be 12 mm because it is larger than the 8 mm. Additionally, there are two different sized depths. Here, the 9 mm depth would be reported because it is larger than the 5 mm depth.
For irregular shaped components: Similar to finding the default front of an irregularly shaped component, draw a \u201cthree dimensional\u201d rectangle around the component.
Height: from the base to the top
Width: from the left to the right
Depth: from the front to the back
For unformed, flexible components:
Take the measurements as if the component was fully formed and filled.
For standing components:
Height: from the flat surface to the top most point
Width: from the left-most point to the right-most point
Depth: from the default front to the farthest opposite surface
For components with leaning or irregular verticlas:
Height: from the flat surface to the top most point (parallel to the vertex)
Width: from the left most point to the right most point
Depth: from the default front to the farthest opposite surface
For components that are cylindrical:
For cylindrical items two dimensions will be nominally equal. Which dimensions are equal is determined by the result of determination of the default front.

For the purposes of this standard, we define the differences between photographic and rendered images. Note: both types are accepted but the naming convention will differ based on image type so that images have unique names and do not having naming conflicts.
Photographic image: the result of the electronic or chemical capture of a likeness of a physical object with the use of a camera.
Rendered image: the result of the creation of a digital likeness of a physical object with the use of a computer and software.
After determining the default front, the possible faces, in relation to the default front, are: 1. Default Front 2. Left 3. Top 7. Back 8. Right 9. Bottom

A packaging manufacturer may refer to a particular bottle as \u2018small clear bottle\u2019, but a filler may know it as \u2018500 ml clear bottle\u2019. In a database it may be recorded as \u20180.5L PET Bottle\u2019. While these are all referring to the same thing, it could be hard for a human to know that they are the same, and pretty much impossible for a computer.
To help get around this, we use identifiers. These are codes that we use to unambiguously reference a particular thing. Within the Open 3P data standard we need to uniquely identify every entry. Each record in each schema needs to have an identifier. Since the packaging supply chain is global, the Open 3P data standard needs to be global and thus the unique identifier also needs to be global. We are therefore using the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) standard methodology to (probabilistically) guarantee uniqueness.
A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit label used for information in computer systems. The term globally unique identifier (GUID) is also used.

Controlled lists are essential components of open data standards used to establish consistency in data entry and ensure that the data is accurate and high quality. They serve as reference points for key terms and phrases that are commonly used in the packaging industry.
By using controlled lists, data contributors are able to select from a predefined set of terms instead of entering free-text, which can result in inconsistencies and errors. This helps to maintain data integrity and reduces the risk of inaccuracies that can lead to costly mistakes.
Controlled lists also enable easy querying and reporting of data across the packaging supply chain. This is because each term in the list has a standardised definition and value, which allows for more precise comparisons between materials, packages and loads.
Overall, controlled lists play a vital role in ensuring that data is reliable and can be easily analyzed, leading to more informed decision-making and better outcomes for all stakeholders in the packaging industry.

Relationship lists are user-defined lists used in data standards to specify the relationships between different data elements. Unlike controlled lists, which are predefined within the data standard, relationship lists are populated by the user to provide context and clarity to the data being recorded.
For example, in the packaging industry, a relationship list could be used to specify the relationship between a component and its associated material or between a complete package and its components. By defining these relationships, the user can ensure that the data is consistent and accurate, which can help to improve decision-making, analysis, and reporting.
Relationship lists are flexible and can be customized to fit the needs of different users and applications, making them a powerful tool for managing complex data sets. However, they require careful planning and management to ensure that they are used consistently across the supply chain and that they remain relevant and up-to-date over time.

The Open 3P data standard has been developed to answer the data needs of the packaging industry. To ensure that the standard represents all stakeholders a comprehensive set of governance arrangements has been developed - to maintain trust, integrity and fairness.
Open Data Manchester (ODM) is a not-for-profit organisation that acts as the Data Standard Holding Body (DSHB) for Open 3P. It holds the intellectual property rights (IP) of the Open 3P data standard and is an independent and neutral entity, that has no stake in the packaging industry. It is a Community Interest Company (CIC) that has an \u2018asset lock\u2019, a legal mechanism that prevents predatory take over of its assets by third parties.
ODM\u2019s role as the DSHB is four-fold.
It holds the standard in an asset-lock.
It develops and maintains the standard on behalf of the Standard Custodian Board (SCB).
It provides secretariat services to the SCB.
It provides support services to individuals and organisations that want to adopt and exploit the potential of the data standard.
The SCB ensures that the standard is developed for and on-behalf of the packaging value chain. The board consists of industry stakeholders, domain and technical experts and is chaired by ODM. The board is elected through an open process with board members holding post for a maximum of three continuous years before stepping down.
Development of the standard follows a strict governance process where changes are either submitted to the board through the DSHB, the SCB itself or through external petition. Changes are assessed and if deemed to be beneficial are circulated for consultation. After the consultation period expires, the changes are then re-assessed and adopted if agreed. The SCB then mandates the DSHB to implement the change.
All proceedings and documents relating to the governance arrangements of the Open 3P standard can be found on the Governance Proceedings page of the Open 3P website. Meetings are quarterly with agenda, related documents circulated to the board 30 days before the meeting.
