Modified on Wed, 8 Jan at 9:00 AM

"Retailers need to upgrade their point-of-sale scanners to read QR Codes and other types of next generation barcodes and adapt their product labelling systems to handle richer data”


  • Many retailers already use scanners that can read next generation barcodes, but those without this capability will need to do this upgrade.
  • Brands will also need to ensure they are equipped to print the new codes on their packages
  • GS1’s over 100 local offices across the world provide support and resources to help businesses manage these changes smoothly.
