Create, Print and Verify On-Pack In-line QR Codes

A new initiative led by GS1 is likely to require food manufacturers to print QR barcodes on packs to enhance the consumer shopping experience and reduce food waste by up to 40%.

OAL provides the systems and support you need to meet GS1 requirements:

Create QR codes: Seamlessly incorporate key data including GTIN, batch code, expiry date and supplier number.
Control and print: Control inline printers to print QR codes simultaneously as the best before and other information.
Verification: Ensure the code is printed correctly and is legible.
Onboarding Services: We’ll train your team to use the software and help migrate existing labels to the new format.
24/7 Support: Access support at any time with a rapid 1 hour response time.

“The introduction of automated systems from OAL has completely changed our operations. Since its installation, we’ve been able to streamline our processes and prevent errors before they caused further issues, protecting our reputation, enhancing trust and confidence. We’ve also seen the significant opportunity in increasing efficiency and operational effectiveness.”
