GS1 Digital Link is a standard that allows barcodes to become web-enabled. It replaces the traditional 1D barcode with a 2D QR code that contains both the product identity (GTIN) and a URL, allowing it to be used for both point-of-sale scanning and consumer engagement.
The 'Sunrise 2027' initiative is a global effort to transition from 1D barcodes to 2D barcodes (like QR codes) at retail point-of-sale. This allows for more data (expiry dates, batch numbers) and better consumer transparency.
Yes. QRTRAC allows you to encode your GTIN and other application identifiers (AIs) into a compliant GS1 Digital Link URI structure, ensuring interoperability across the supply chain.
Brands can provide real-time product information, authentication, sustainability data, and promotional content through the same QR code used for logistics and retail checkout.
