What is Sunrise 2027 GS1 Digital Link?

QR codes in successful marketing campaigns

By 2027, GS1, the not-for-profit global arbiter of business standards, requires all UPC labels to be replaced with 2D barcodes, otherwise known as QR codes. The initiative is called Sunrise 2027 GS1 Digital Link.

While this initiative gives brands so many new ways to interact with consumers—right from your product's package—it's also an opportunity to standardize, capture, and share data across the entire supply chain.

BL.INK can streamline and simplify this process from start to finish by delivering millions of QR codes to standardizing product data to creating compelling consumer landing pages.
