From craft to shelf: why it matters to be a GS1 UK member
In the competitive drinks industry, standing out is crucial. GS1 standards and barcodes are your passport to:
Meet the mandatory requirements of major supermarkets and online marketplaces.
Track your stock accurately and efficiently, reducing errors and waste.
Ensure smooth product movement from production to point-of-sale.
Build trust with consumers by showcasing your product's authenticity.
Optimise your online listings and reach a wider audience.
The shift to QR codes is here. Stay ahead of the curve with the next-generation QR codes powered by GS1.
Applying GS1 numbers and barcodes to our bottles has made international trading so much easier. We don’t have to change the barcodes on our bottles or packaging at any point... This saves us a lot of time and money and also gives our international customers so much more confidence. A lot of smaller breweries can’t offer this, so it really sets us apart.”
