When implementing GS1 2D barcodes such as QR Codes powered by GS1 or GS1 DataMatrix, success often depends on details that are easy to overlook.

For brands, key decisions include:
-Selecting the right barcode size for the data required
-Minimising the data in the barcode to maximise access to digital content
-Ensuring high print quality and contrast
-Choosing appropriate colour combinations
-Validating barcodes through verification systems, not just smartphone testing
-Considering placement on packaging

Getting these fundamentals right ensures consistent scanning performance across operations and at checkout.

Implementing GS1 2D barcodes such as QR Codes powered by GS1 or GS1 DataMatrix requires more than upgrading scanners.

It requires confidence that your systems, software and solution partners are aligned.

Leading scanning solution providers are supporting barcodes powered by GS1 — helping retailers improve reliability at checkout and across store operations.

Happy ! 🎉

This year’s spotlight is SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy. Ambitious goals like this are only reached together, with governments, industry and the standards community working on shared solutions.

GS1 standards are made the same way. They are developed by companies and experts from many industries and regions, and can be used by everyone worldwide to identify products and help share data they can trust – for the benefit of businesses, consumers, patients and society.

Thank you to everyone who contributes to standards for a better world, including the experts across the GS1 community. We’re glad to join , and in celebrating our work.

GS1 2D barcodes such as QR Codes powered by GS1 and GS1 DataMatrix can support a range of retail opportunities — from reliable point-of-sale scanning to expiry management, inventory visibility and digital experiences.

The capabilities required depend on the use case.
For retailers, readiness may include:

✅ Point-of-sale scanners that can read GS1 2D barcodes
✅ Systems able to use additional data, where needed
✅ Appropriate scanner configuration
✅ Alignment with solution providers and operational processes

Many retailers start with basic scanning capability and expand over time as new use cases deliver value.

When everything is aligned, scanners can read multiple barcodes seamlessly — without slowing checkout.

What is the first GS1 2D barcode use case you are exploring?

08/10/2026

One scan. One step at a time.

For many retailers and brand owners, the question isn’t why GS1 2D barcodes — it’s where to begin and how to move forward.

The reality is simple: implementation is not a single step. It’s a progression.

✅ Start with a focused use case

✅ Test through a pilot in a defined scope

✅ Learn and align across teams and partners

✅ Scale across products, stores and markets

Start small. Prove value. Scale with confidence.

For grocery retailers exploring GS1 2D barcodes, such as QR Codes powered by GS1 or GS1 DataMatrix, the key question is often not the technology

👉 it is knowing where to begin.

A structured approach makes the difference:

-Define the business objective, such as reducing waste, improving inventory visibility or ensuring POS readiness

-Audit the retail ecosystem including scanners, point-of-sale systems, printers, internal processes and partners

-Align on scope including stores, product categories, barcode type and data attributes.

Successful implementation is built on collaboration across retailers, brands, solution providers and other ecosystem partners.

Starting small, with clear objectives and a focused pilot helps grocery retailers build the right foundation before scaling to more stores, categories and partners.

Labels are no longer just static — they are becoming digital entry points.
For beverage brands, the challenge is how to provide more product information and connect with consumers without adding complexity to packaging.

Ce***za Charro is addressing this by adopting GS1 2D barcodes such as QR Codes powered by GS1 on its labels.

By using GS1 2D barcodes, the brand can connect each product to digital content — creating a scalable way to share information, support marketing initiatives and engage consumers beyond the point of sale.

A clear example of how connected packaging can transform labels into interactive touchpoints.

Products are no longer just physical — they can connect consumers directly to digital information and experiences.

For brand owners, the question is how to unlock this potential at scale, using packaging as a bridge between physical and digital.

Maruwa Japanese Food is already doing this by using GS1 2D barcodes such as QR Codes powered by GS1 to connect its products to digital content.

This enables consumers to access product information instantly — while giving the brand a scalable way to extend engagement beyond the shelf.

A clear example of how connected product data can enhance consumer experience and create new opportunities for brand interaction.

Managing expiry dates at scale is a constant challenge in fresh food retail.

Manual processes are time‑consuming and often lead to unnecessary waste.

NorgesGruppen tackled this by improving expiry date management using GS1 2D barcodes (GS1 DataMatrix) across its own‑brand products.

The results show the impact of getting product data right:
Food waste reduced by 18% in pilot phases
Further reduction of up to 44% as implementation expanded
A clear example of how better product data can deliver measurable operational and sustainability value — starting small and scaling impact over time.

Food retailers face a constant challenge:

how to reduce waste, manage expiry at scale and protect customers at checkout — without slowing operations. Woolworths Australia has been working with GS1 2D barcodes such as GS1 DataMatrix for several years and has expanded the programme into New Zealand.

The results are clear:

•Up to 40% less food waste
•Up to 21% higher store productivity
•Real-time alerts to help identify and reduce the sale of expired or recalled products

By improving how expiry data is captured and used, Woolworths strengthened control across store operations and checkout — without adding complexity.

This is what better product data can deliver at scale: stronger efficiency and lower waste.
