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

A new initiative led by Tesco and 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%.

Why do retailers and consumers want new barcodes?

Discover the benefits for consumers, manufacturers, and retailers with the implementation of GS1-powered 2D/QR codes.

  • Reduce Food Waste by Up to 40%: Example: Woolworths in Australia has achieved up to a 40% reduction in food waste by using 2D barcodes powered by GS1.

  • Prevent the Sale of Expired Products: Point of sale systems can read expiry dates embedded in the QR/2D codes, preventing the sale of expired goods.

  • Enhanced Traceability: Verify product authenticity and access detailed information on ingredients and origin, boosting consumer confidence and transparency in the flow of goods.

  • Improved Inventory Management: Streamline administration, increase product availability, strengthen the 'first in, first out' process, and ultimately achieve less food waste.
