GS1 Sunrise 2027: Prepare for the Changes Ahead

Exploring Modern GS1 Standards

Are you actively preparing for GS1 Sunrise 2027 today? First, GS1 operates as a massive global organization securely. Specifically, it develops strict standards for vital business communication daily. Furthermore, it heavily focuses on massive supply chain management completely. Consequently, the famous GS1 barcode encodes vital product information perfectly. Therefore, these standardized barcodes actively facilitate the seamless global movement of goods. Ultimately, this incredible global standardization completely enables highly efficient inventory management securely.

Next, MapleJet proudly offers cutting-edge factory printing solutions today. Specifically, we actively provide highly reliable tools for precise barcode marking. Therefore, our advanced technologies perfectly meet strict global GS1 barcode standards. Ultimately, we guarantee every single product label remains highly accurate and compliant.

Historically, retail checkouts adopted the original U.P.C. barcode in 1973 safely. Since then, numerous massive industries heavily adopted various GS1 standards globally.

Businesses Embracing GS1 2D Barcode Printing Ahead of GS1 Sunrise 2027

 This is an excerpt from Evolution of Product Coding [White Paper].

https://magazine.gs1.nl/gs1-magazine-p-g/procter-gamble

“To address rapidly changing coding requirements, GS1.org, the leading authority on coding standards, has unveiled the “Sunrise 2027” plan, which aims to phase out the UPC code by 2027. The adoption of 2D barcodes offers a standardized approach to fulfilling both supply chain demands and evolving consumer needs.

Several major companies have joined pilot programs, each with distinct objectives. These companies and their goals include:

Woolworths (Woolies): Forecasting, inventory management, and overall efficiency”

Walmart: Supply chain management

Procter & Gamble: Use of GS1 Digital Link for smart packaging and increasing consumer engagement

Pepsi: QR codes for lottery and cash prizes as part of their UEFA Champions League sponsorship in the UK

Printing Challenges for 2D Barcodes

Meanwhile, printing advanced 2D barcodes presents massive technological factory challenges today.
