Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.
A unified retail and foodservice sector stands together in using GS1 standards for barcode labelling of products and shipments.
However, our standards can be used for much more than that. Discover how your company can efficiently exchange accurate product master data and images with your trading partners – and increase sales through our services.
Complete and accurate product data is essential to get products onto the shelves – in stores and online.
We help you succeed with our services: GS1Trade Sync, GS1Trade Exact, and GS1Trade Image. Watch how in the video here.
GTIN and GLN provide the unique identification that, in combination with data sharing and validation services – GS1Trade Sync, GS1Trade Exact, and GS1Trade Image – ensure that your products move smoothly through the supply chain with accurate master data, images, and a unique product number attached.
By adding our EDI service, GS1Trade Transact, we enable easy digital order receipt and invoice dispatch to both public and private trading partners.


GS1 Denmark collaborates with stakeholders from various industries through Sector Boards to ensure that our standards remain relevant and value-creating.
In these forums, needs are identified, knowledge is shared, and recommendations are developed to strengthen data quality, efficiency, and compliance across the value chain.
We have compiled a number of relevant cases on how members in the retail and food service industries use our standards.
If you have any questions about how you can use GS1 standards and services in retail and foodservice, we recommend that you contact our advisors, who are ready to guide you through the process.
