Like a standard QR code, a QR code powered by GS1 can be scanned using a mobile phone to access the internet. Unlike a standard QR code, however, a QR code powered by GS1 can hold Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) that uniquely identify products all around the world, ‘beeping’ at the checkout billions of times a day.
By combining the power of the internet with global GS1 standards, you can connect your physical product to information that’s spread across different systems and websites. QR codes powered by GS1 can carry additional data such as expiration dates, batch/lot numbers, serial numbers and much more.
