Transition from linear 1D codes to advanced 2D codes
How does this transition impact businesses?
This transition significantly impacts businesses by providing access to richer product information and enabling enhanced traceability throughout the supply chain. It fosters consumer trust through transparency, streamlines operational processes, and ensures compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Additionally, it opens up new avenues for businesses to engage with their customers, potentially becoming a significant game changer in building brand loyalty and driving sales.
How does transitioning to 2D codes open up new opportunities for brands and the supply chain?
Transitioning to 2D codes paves the way for brands to embed a wealth of additional information in a structured and standardized way. This not only improves operational efficiency, but also facilitates consumer engagement and supports sustainability initiatives, as 2D codes can be scanned by brands and end consumers, enhancing the brand and shopping experience.
The possibilities are truly endless.
Be prepared for the transition to GS1 Sunrise coding!
Preparation is key. Businesses should start by evaluating their current coding systems and ensuring compatibility with 2D codes. While 2D codes can be printed by converters as part of an artwork, comparable to the current process for static barcodes, these codes must be printed at the production facility to utilize their full potential and embed production data. Existing coding systems installed on production lines often prove inadequate for printing 2D codes, particularly for primary packaging, due to the combination of speed and resolution requirements. Our systems, capable of handling 600 dpi on a wide range of substrates, are designed to meet your needs.
Collaboration with experienced partners like Atlantic Zeiser can streamline the transition process and ensure a smooth implementation. It makes it easier to unlock the full potential and optimize how operations and marketing capitalize on it.
Embrace the change, and the opportunities it brings.
