Shopping may soon look a bit different than it does today. New QR codes from GS1 are starting to appear on product packaging. Simply scan them with your smartphone to access additional product information. These codes will also be able to be scanned at the checkout instead of a barcode. The solution is already being implemented by manufacturers and retail chains worldwide, and the first products with GS1 QR codes are also available in Poland.
For over 50 years, barcodes have helped identify products and streamline the purchasing process. They allow stores to quickly settle sales and companies to effectively manage their goods. Today, however, a new phase of development is underway. Traditional barcodes are slowly giving way to the next generation of QR codes from GS1.
