Get ready for GS1 Sunrise 2027

Starting 2027, one-dimensional barcodes will no longer meet global retail expectations. Two-dimensional (2D) barcodes hold more data and provide consumers and key stakeholders with more of the information they need, when they need it.

This new code is the GS1 Digital Link and this webinar will show you how to deploy it with purpose.

Sunrise 2027 is right around the corner. Let's make sure you're ready.
