Get ready for the future; all benefits of the barcode and more

Connecting consumers to the product and brand through one smart barcode

Communicating directly with consumers through a single, smarter barcode on packaging that gives instant access to reliable information, content and personalised experiences.

This is possible with the new generation two-dimensional barcode. Barcode scanning allows items to be identified. GS1 powered QR codes can contain more information than the traditional barcode. Such as a web address, warranty, recipe, installation instructions, best-before date, serial number and batch number. Retailers can thereby make processes more efficient and sustainable, and consumers can use a smartphone to access real-time information such as allergen information, promotions, reviews, product recalls and instructions for use.
