A QR code that combines product identifiers (like GTINs) with a URL — giving every product a scannable digital identity.
One QR code carries everything — GTIN, batch, serial, expiry, and more. Rich digital identities for every single product you sell.
Connect every product to compliance data, marketing pages, and traceability info — all from a single scan.
A single QR code works with both POS scanners and smartphone cameras, replacing multiple barcodes on your product packaging.
Everything you need for GS1 Digital Link compliance and GS1 QR code generation
Built-in check digit validation for all GS1 identifier types. Catch errors before they reach your products.
Support for GTIN, SSCC, GLN, GRAI, GIAI, GSRN, GDTI, GINC, GSIN, CPID, GMN, SHIPTO, and more.
Add batch/lot number, serial number, CPV (variant), TPX and more to uniquely identify each item.
Encode production date, expiry date, net weight, net volume, price, and count of items directly in the QR code.

GS1 Digital Link is a standard that embeds GS1 identifiers (like GTINs) into a QR code URL format. When scanned, it can direct to product information, traceability data, marketing pages, or any web resource. It replaces traditional 1D barcodes while maintaining backward compatibility with existing GS1 systems.
GS1 Sunrise 2027 is the global initiative requiring all retail point-of-sale systems to accept GS1 2D barcodes (QR codes) alongside traditional 1D barcodes by January 2027. Major retailers like Walmart, Carrefour, and Tesco are already preparing for this transition.
Eventually, yes. While existing 1D barcodes will still work during the transition period, all new packaging should include GS1 2D barcodes. ElkQR makes the transition easy by generating a 1D barcode below the QR code, so both formats are available during the changeover.
Every ElkQR plan includes all 21 QR code types: GS1 Digital Link, URL, vCard Plus, Booking, Menu, PDF, Images, Video, Audio, Event, Feedback, Landing Page, Page Builder, Coupon, WiFi, App Store, Multi-link, Payment EPC, PayNow, Pet ID, and Business.
