Codul QR GS1
A standardized 2D code for identification and access to digital information.
More data in a single code
Codul QR GS1 is a 2D symbol that can represent the product's GS1 identifier, such as GTIN, together with additional data required in various commercial and logistics processes. Compared to EAN/UPC codes, it can represent more data and supports extended scenarios, from inventory management and traceability to connecting the product to digital information through GS1 Digital Link.
Why the GS1 QR Code?
Identify the product
Includes the GTIN, the unique identifier by which the product is recognised in commercial systems.
Include more data
It can encode, depending on use, additional information about the product and its lifecycle, for example batch, serial number, expiry dates or other product attributes.
Supports traceability processes
Data can be captured automatically by scanning and used in logistics, inventory, traceability and other business applications.
Connects the product to the digital world
Through GS1 Digital Link, the same code can connect the physical product to online information and services for consumers, trading partners and other systems.
More than identification
From product data to digital information and experiences.
GS1 Digital Link
Through GS1 Digital Link, the same QR code can provide access to relevant information for consumers and trading partners, from product information and documentation to digital services and the Digital Product Passport.
