What this page helps you do
A 2D code can carry identification and a web address, but the data structure must be agreed before printing.
Checks and steps
- Confirm whether the requirement calls for GS1 DataMatrix or GS1 QR Code.
- Define the GS1 identification key and any required context data.
- Build a GS1 Digital Link URI with the required GS1 identifiers.
- Validate symbol size, error correction and print quality.
- Test with mobile devices, industrial scanners and the receiving business system.
Scope and verification
Do not treat any QR-code URL as GS1 Digital Link. The URI and identifiers must follow the applicable GS1 standard.
