Best Answer

The GS1 Digital Link standard is an integration between GS1 identifiers like the GTIN and the web that provides a lot of useful consumer information. This information includes supply chain transparency, customer loyalty, business partner APIs, and patient safety data. With GS1 Digital Link, a 2D symbol such as a QR Code or Data Matrix on a product can be scanned with your smartphone camera without having to search for the right scanning app. Brands can link to multiple sources of information from a single symbol, which saves space and streamlines the process. The following font packages support generation of the GS1 Digital Link Specification:
· Data Matrix Fonts
· QR Code Fonts
· GS1-128 Fonts
However, it is recommended to use QR codes for consumer products because it is supported by most smartphones and tablets. As of 2023, many companies across various industries have started using the GS1 Digital Link standard in place of UPC barcodes. Some notable examples include Procter & Gamble, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Nestle. These companies are using the GS1 Digital Link to provide consumers with access to rich product information and enhance supply chain transparency. The GS1 Digital Link is also being utilized in the healthcare industry to provide patients with access to critical safety information.
