Across industries, the transition from traditional 1D barcodes to 2D codes is gaining momentum. Retail initiatives, product authentication programs, and emerging regulatory frameworks are driving the need for more data-rich product identifiers that can support greater traceability, transparency, and digital connectivity throughout the supply chain.
While the benefits of 2D codes are widely discussed, many manufacturers are still asking practical questions: What does this transition mean for production lines? How can variable 2D codes be integrated into existing packaging operations? And what should companies begin preparing today to avoid costly implementation challenges later?
In this webinar, LEIBINGER will explore the real-world implications of 2D code adoption for manufacturing environments. We will discuss the evolving standards landscape and what the transition to 2D codes means for packaging lines, product identification, and production workflows.
Attendees will gain practical insights into how manufacturers can begin preparing their operations for reliable, GS1-compliant 2D coding while maintaining code quality, production efficiency, and operational uptime.
Key takeaways:
- Understand the industry drivers accelerating the transition from traditional barcodes to 2D codes
- Learn how GS1 standards support the global adoption of 2D product identification
- Identify the key production considerations for implementing variable 2D codes on packaging lines
- Discover how manufacturers can prepare their operations to ensure reliable, high-quality 2D coding while maintaining efficiency and uptime
