The most advanced
GS1 QR Code Generator

A GS1 Digital Link QR Code—also known as a 2D barcode—is an advanced barcode that connects physical products to online information using global standards. It usually appears in a square format and holds information about a product—its manufacturer, product details, brand information, promotional content, and more.

Traditional 1D barcodes can only hold limited data, while GS1 2D barcodes can store much more information. 1D barcodes can be read with a laser barcode scanner, while 2D barcodes can be scanned using either a 2D scanner or a smartphone.

There are numerous benefits to using GS1 2D barcodes: more data capacity, better accuracy, and the ability to add a variety of product information. Businesses can use it for enhanced customer engagement, real-time QR content updates, streamlined supply chain, and tracking.

Businesses must keep up with advanced technology like GS1 digital link and comply with industry compliance to address the growing demand for information transparency, supply chain traceability, and efficient product authentication across systems.
