Preparing for 2D barcodes with Sunrise 2027
One-dimensional (1D) barcodes, such as EAN/UPC, have long helped retailers manage product names and pricing. However, the industry is increasingly moving toward two-dimensional (2D) barcodes, which can store significantly more data. Every business has unique processes and systems, meaning the transition to 2D barcodes under Sunrise 2027 will differ from one organisation to another.
Ready to get started? As a GS1 alliance partner, insignia’s experts can guide your organisation and scanning systems to seamlessly adopt and process 2D barcodes.
What is the difference between 1D abd 2D barcodes?
The difference between 1D and 2D barcodes starts with their appearance. 1D barcodes consist of black and white vertical lines, while 2D barcodes use black and white squares or dots. Both serve important purposes: 1D codes have long supported price lookup, whereas 2D codes can store much larger amounts of data for product information, traceability, authentication, and more. This makes 2D barcodes invaluable for inventory management, recall readiness, sustainability and ethical sourcing, product authentication, and building brand trust.
It’s also important to distinguish between GS1 DataMatrix and standard DataMatrix barcodes. While visually identical, a GS1 DataMatrix begins with the special start sequence FNC1. This sequence signals to scanners that the code complies with GS1 standards and instructs them on how to interpret the data. If a scanner expects a GS1 DataMatrix but encounters a regular DataMatrix, it will generate an error.
