CPG and GS1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Producers and suppliers in the CPG industry (consumer packaged goods) need to identify,<\/a> capture,<\/a> share<\/a> and trace<\/a> information along the entire supply chain. GS1 standards and services create opportunities for your industry to exchange information about everything in the supply chain \u2013 all the way from producer to end consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GS1 has a long history in the CPG industry. In fact, this is where it all started in the 70s with a chewing gum pack that became the first trade item to be scanned in a checkout. Today, GS1 barcodes are scanned 6 billion times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why GS1?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consumers, regulators and industries in modern times place high demands on accurate product and logistics information. But they also want transparent information about the origin, content and climate footprint of the product. And what has happened on the journey through the supply chain. Everyone expects up-to-date, accurate and reliable data from the brand owner, store and e-retailer who will sell the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can meet the needs of your consumers and retailers by using global GS1 standards and services that help you communicate in the same language as the one you do business with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
