  1. HVI Data Management

  2. Permanent Bale IdentificationPBI

  3. PBI • Bale tagging system that identifies each U.S. cotton bale with a unique number that is traceable from the textile mill back to the gin.

  4. PBI Tags • Attached to all U.S. bales • Inserted in samples removed from U.S. bales

  5. PBI:The Link to USDA Classing Data • “Tear off” sample PBI tag used to identify samples that are removed from the bale. • PBI system enables easy access to USDA classing data for each bale individually.

  6. Permanent Bale IdentificationPBI • Started in 1997 • PBI Program Overseen by USDA • Ensures specifications are met • PBI Number Made up of 5-digit Gin Code & 7-digit Bale Number • Barcode: Code 128 subset C • 5 Year Cycle on Bale Numbers • Required on all bales classed by USDA (100% of U.S. crop)

  7. PBI Number Defined PBI #:960890001105 960890001105 Gin Code Gin Bale ID 96 = Classing Office Code 089 = Gin Number Classing Office Codes: • Abilene, TX 50 Lubbock, TX 70 • Birmingham, AL 13 Macon, GA 07 • Corpus Christi, TX 60 Memphis, TN 40 • Dumas, AR 30 Phoenix, AZ 86 • Florence, SC 03 Rayville, LA 28 • Lamesa, TX 72 Visalia, CA 96
