GS1 QR codes will replace all barcodes by 2027, becoming mandatory. They will serve two purposes: logistics, like traditional barcodes, and marketing, adding a digital dimension to every product that can be scanned for additional information.
GS1 QR codes are poised to revolutionize the entire consumer industry.
Traditional barcodes excel at logistics but fall short in marketing. QR codes, on the other hand, are powerful for marketing but have limitations in logistics. GS1 QR codes, a global standard set to be adopted across all consumer goods, bridge this gap by combining the strengths of both technologies.
When scanned in a supermarket, a GS1 QR code functions like a barcode, displaying a serial number for inventory management. However, when scanned with a smartphone, it can direct the consumer to a website, app, file, video, or other digital content.
To ensure a seamless transition, we've developed a QR code with an overlaid barcode. This design allows older scanners to read the barcode while newer scanners can access the QR code. This innovation unlocks new opportunities to deliver greater value to consumers and enhance product tracking.

@qrzebra What a brilliant concept! Combining the power of QR codes and barcodes in one is genius. This could really change how we think about product tracking and consumer engagement.Kudos to the team for this innovation.
Congrats on the launch! GS1 QR codes sound like a game-changer for bridging logistics and marketing. Just curious—how well do they work with older scanning systems? Can’t wait to see where this tech goes!
