About 2D Barcode Insights
The Sunrise 2027 Transition
The retail industry is undergoing a massive transformation. By 2027, the traditional linear barcodes (UPC/EAN) that have beeped at checkout counters for decades will be replaced by 2D barcodes capable of storing vast amounts of data, powered by the GS1 Digital Link standard.
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in New Zealand and Australia, this transition presents both a challenge and an incredible opportunity.
