GS1 is the only official issuer of GTINs, and the EAN barcodes and GS1 2D codes created from them, in Finland and abroad.
The GS1 2D code differs from a regular QR code in that its content complies with GS1’s international GS1 Digital Link standard.
When the GS1 2D code follows the GS1 standard structure, it works reliably and interoperably throughout the entire supply chain.
The GS1 2D code functions on a product or package as a link to the product’s digital world.
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.
With the help of our capturing standards, a physical product or item is connected to its digital world.
Our information sharing standards help the parties in value chains to share and receive information efficiently and securely about products, deliveries and locations, and more.
A working barcode is created through the right choices. On this page, you will find seven steps to help you implement a GS1 barcode correctly.
Before you can deliver – or sometimes even offer – your product to retailers and wholesalers, you need a GS1 product identifier for your product and a barcode on its packaging.
When you get your products into the store or wholesaler's assortment, you need to inform your trading partner of all the necessary information. GS1 Synkka makes it efficient and easy to share product information, images and documents.
You must notify your trading partner of all deliveries of your products in the manner agreed upon with them. Many stores and wholesalers use electronic EDI messages to receive products and maintain product balances.
When making assortment decisions, retailers and wholesalers require that pallets are suitable for smooth handling in the distribution chain. To do this, you need a SSCC, a GS1-128 barcode and a standard format pallet label.
