From the retail and wholesale perspective, the most important thing is to ensure that GS1 2D codes can be scanned smoothly at checkout and that systems are able to utilise the data they contain.
The GS1 2D code functions on a product or package as a link to the product’s digital world.
When the GS1 2D code follows the GS1 standard structure, it works reliably and interoperably throughout the entire supply chain.
The GS1 2D code differs from a regular QR code in that its content complies with GS1’s international GS1 Digital Link standard.
GS1 is the only official issuer of GTINs, and the EAN barcodes and GS1 2D codes created from them, in Finland and abroad.
