Be a leader in the transition from barcodes to digital links

Frequently Asked Questions about GS1 digital link

Short answer: a web address with a barcode added at the end. By combining well-established product identifiers, such as the GTIN, with a URL, the new GS1 digital link standard makes it possible to generate online digital twins of every single item and connect them with additional layers of information. Digital links will replace traditional barcodes on product packaging in a few years.

A resolver is a web-based system that works as an interpreter and a traffic controller. It decompresses, validates, and translates the information stored in a digital link, smart redirecting to the appropriate links or pieces of content.

While virtually anybody with enough human resources, time, and money to invest can build a resolver, in reality, solid and reliable resolving services can be supplied by third-party providers like Digital Link, with a flexible Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.

In our case, the GS1 digital link resolver comes bundled with a state-of-the-art, end-to-end solution that includes a dynamic QR code generator, a QR code visual editor, an intuitive product page builder, advanced statistics, and much more.

QR codes are the most widely adopted type of 2D (two-dimensional) code.

2D codes can store much more information than 1D codes: a QR holds up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters, more than 50 times the max capacity of a barcode, making it possible to encode URLs in it.

QR codes encoding unique URLs that redirect to other online resources are called dynamic QR codes: their destination can be changed as often as needed without regenerating or reprinting the QR itself.

To future-proof your brand and products. GS1 digital link is the product ID for the digital age. Early adopters of the new standard across all industries are building a competitive advantage for themselves, grabbing the opportunity to shape the market.

Here are a few examples of the benefits provided by GS1 digital link:

  • Fast-track compliance with international requirements such as the FDA Nutrition Facts Label and the EU Digital Product Passport
  • Simplified packaging design and printing, with a single QR code for all purposes instead of multiple 1D and 2D codes, smart labels, and tags
  • Streamlined and efficient supply chain management, with improved traceability, transparency, and sustainability
  • Easy product authentication and anti-counterfeit protection
  • More value for customers through additional information, rich and engaging content, promotions, rewards for loyalty, and much more
