End Usage Formats
The specifications are of sufficiently high quality that they provide a source image that the end user can repurpose for specific applications. However, (ECCnet I&V) can also supply the images in such formats as JPEG or EPS.
Multiple Views
All products should have a maximum of 3 separate views when warranted per marketable face – a front view taken at 15 degrees top from centre is preferred for 3D images, however some products may require a steeper or shallower angle to display effectively. For 2D images (images of products with negligible depth properties) a 0 degree plunge angle is permitted. The other 2 views are a right angle view and a left angle view where the appropriate side panel of the product relative to the front is visible (i.e. for the left angle view, the left panel is visible to the photographer).

Image File Naming Convention
A very specific file naming convention is used to manage and maintain the image library. The format consists of the product GTIN followed by other attributes: colour mode, orientation, language and alternate view indicator.
Benefits Of Our Services
High quality high-resolution marketing images offer multiple views of each product to address diverse business requirements. Benefits include: consistent processes and output due to image and measurement standards; low supply chain costs due to our one-to-many distribution process; simplicity due to our one-stop-shop concept for product images for your planogramming, marketing and Foodservice requirements; and minimal fees due to the fact that we operate on a cost recovery basis and savings for service bundles.
How To Take Advantage of This Service
Submit an up-to-date sample of each of your products to GS1 Canada’s ECCnet I&V studios in Montreal or Calgary. Since these are high-resolution product images, please ensure that each product is well-packed and arrives at our office in excellent condition. Sending two samples of each product is preferred. For products in bags or cardboards, send a "flat" along with the actual product. Always include a Product Submission Form in your shipment for services identification.
