What is a GS1 QR Code?

A GS1 QR Code is a standardised URL (web address) embedded in a 2D carrier. Unlike a standard URL, it uses GS1 Syntax to identify your product's GTIN, Batch/Lot, and Expiry dates in a way that every scanner in the global supply chain can understand.

A GS1 Digital Link is a standardised web address that connects a physical product to the internet. Unlike a standard URL, it encodes trusted identifiers—like the GTIN, Batch, or Serial Number—in a format that every scanner in the global supply chain can interpret. This allows one code to serve different audiences: price at checkout for retailers, and rich product stories for consumers.

In short, GS1 Digital Link turns a barcode into a smart product link that works across checkout, logistics, and digital engagement — all from a single scan.
