Future of On-Pack Coding was initiated by GS1 2019 to study the issues raised globally regarding the need to have more information about products on the packaging. As a result, a number of tools have been developed based on insights from around the world. Among other things, it includes a library with important lessons, pilots and “proof of concepts” where 2D codes have been used in a number of different areas of use.<\/p>\n

The global 2D program is the next phase in the work and focuses on educating and developing technical guidance and support for the introduction of 2D codes with a focus on retail and management in checkouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","support_categories":[311,311,229,229],"support_tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-34495","1":"support","2":"type-support","3":"status-publish","4":"hentry","5":"support_categories-2d-barcodes","7":"support_categories-barcodes"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat is the difference between the Future of On-Pack Coding program and the global 2D program?
