Fred Meyer & 2D Barcodes
GS1 Sunrise 2027
What is it?
The EAN/UPC barcode is no longer keeping up with today’s growing demands for greater product information transparency, traceability, and authentication. In response, the global supply chain is moving toward two-dimensional (2D) barcodes that can carry more information and uniquely identify each product.
Industry has set a date to make the transition to accepting 2D barcodes at point-of-sale (POS) or point-of-care (POC) — referred to as Sunrise 2027.
FineLine's Solutions:
As a GS1 Solution Partner we support and understand GS1 standards and the Sunrise 2027 initiative.
- FineLine supports GS1 Digital Link 2D Barcodes
- We understand and support the data standards and schemas
- We will manage your and your customers’ transition from current UPC/EAN standards to the future Digital Link 2d barcodes
