New GTIN for:

Existing higher-level packaging
A change of over 20% to a physical dimension, on any axis (e.g., height, width, depth), or gross weight, requires assignment of a new GTIN. Changes below 20% may require a new GTIN at the discretion of the brand owner.

Example business scenarios that require GTIN change
- The gross weight of a product increases by 50% from 0.34 kg (0.75 lb) to 0.51 kg (1.125 lb) due to a change in the packaging material.
- A case or pallet orientation (there is no change to the trade item count) may be changed such that one or more axis changes.
- In order to reduce the variety of folding box formats, a folding box with the dimensions of 47 x 18 x 127 mm is changed to 62 x 20 x 115 mm.
