Packaging is becoming more than just a way to identify a product. With the introduction of GS1 Digital Link and QR codes technology, manufacturers can create smarter, more connected products while improving traceability, compliance and supply chain visibility.
A single QR code can connect products, manufacturers, retailers and consumers through one digital identity.
What GS1 QR Codes Enable
Manufacturers can use GS1 QR codes to provide:
- Product identification and serialisation
- Real-time traceability throughout the supply chain
- Product information and digital experiences for consumers
- Regulatory and commercial information
- Sustainability and recycling information
- Improved inventory management for retailers
- Product authentication and anti-counterfeiting capabilities
More Data in One Compact Code
GS1 QR codes allow manufacturers to replace multiple sources of information with one intelligent code containing dynamic data, including:
- Batch and lot numbers
- Serial numbers
- Product descriptions
- Web links and digital content
- Regulatory information
- Sustainability details
