GS1 Digital Links turn every product into the best customer engagement tool
By 2027, GS1 requires QR codes to replace standard UPC barcodes. BL.INK helps you capitalize on this powerful tool faster than anyone.
BL.INK offers the fastest path to GS1 Digital Link compliance
BL.INK offers an end-to-end GS1 solution featuring GS1-compliant link templates, link validation, and a no-code CMS tool that integrates with multiple data sources to dynamically create interactive, mobile-friendly microsites to foster rich engagement with consumers. All at massive scale.
What is Sunrise 2027 GS1 Digital Link?
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.
BL.INK's GS1 Digital Link offering delivers rich consumer engagement
BL.INK delivers GS1-compliant link templates and link validation that align with production-ready QR codes. We can integrate with your existing workflows and partners to accelerate time to launch.
BL.INK CXP, our no-code CMS integrates directly with your data, wherever it lives, to power mobile-friendly microsites. In BL.INK CXP, you can easily customize each site for your brand and add multiple functions to engage with consumers, specific to every product.
A single branded link can deliver key information based on the audience, geography, environment, and product lifecycle. You'll see real-time click and scan data.
Dynamically-created microsites deliver the most up-to-date information upon scan, making it easy to manage and identify products that are recalled or expired.
BL.INK's mobile-friendly microsites, powered by your data, deliver unique experiences based on who scans the QR code.
