Use cases for 2D Barcode (GS1) QR codes

01

Product identification

Encode product identifiers in a compact machine-readable symbol for a compatible scanning workflow.

02

Batch references

Include supported batch or date information where your operational process expects it.

What happens after a scan

Compatible scanning software interprets the encoded identifiers. A general phone camera may not present a useful consumer experience. Confirm the accepted syntax and test with the intended equipment before ordering labels; generating a symbol does not assign product identifiers or certify compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to create this QR code?

Yes. Create an account and verify your email, or log in to an existing account, before opening this format in the full builder. You can explore the examples on this page without signing up.

Can I change the content after printing?

This is a static format: the content is encoded directly in the QR. To change it, generate and print a new code. Static codes do not provide scan analytics.

What should I check before sharing my 2D Barcode (GS1) QR code?

Check the generated code with the equipment and software that will read it. A generated symbol alone does not establish compliance with a retailer’s requirements.
