Brands can now speak directly to consumers through a single, smarter barcode on their packaging, providing instant access to trusted information, content and richer personalised experiences.
Using a GS1 powered QR code with our Digital Link standard enables you to connect your product’s unique identity to multiple online sources of enriched, real-time content. You retain full control, can tailor your online sources to a specific product, and can update or publish new content without having to alter the packaging of your products.
