Small brands
Big opportunities, one scan at a time.
A smarter next print run
Plain English, not barcode jargon.
Useful planning, without the panic.
A little structure. A lot less guesswork.
You make the good stuff. We help you think through where a code fits, what Sunrise 2027 means, and what to ask before your next print order.
01 / Make space
Start with a layout instead of a blank page. Plan where a QR code can live alongside the product details and personality your customers already know.
Your brand goes here.
Product story. Important details. A little breathing room.
Layout illustration only — not a working barcode.
02 / Get the bigger picture
Get a friendly introduction to the industry’s move toward 2D barcodes at checkout, how a retail barcode differs from a regular QR link, and what to discuss with your barcode provider and retail partners.
03 / Plan before you print
Turn an unfamiliar transition into a few useful next steps: review your layout, confirm requirements with the right partners, and test before committing to print.
A helpful starting point, not a compliance shortcut: Sunrise 2027 is an industry readiness goal, and final barcode requirements depend on your product, partners, and applicable GS1 guidance.
