GTIN
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.

The barcode's 50th anniversary in early April marked the start of massive media coverage, with more than 70 mentions of GS1 and smart 2D barcodes in major daily newspapers and interviews on Go' Morgen Danmark, DR News and TV2 Kosmopol.
Head of Standards, Sustainability and Partnerships, Mads Kibsgaard, toured from one news studio to another over Easter – and is naturally pleased with the interest, which he hopes is here to stay.
- It is a major, important transition that our food industry is facing, so it is encouraging that the media has now truly taken an interest in – and seen the great potential of – the 2D barcode's connection to food waste, food safety, consumer communication, and green procurement.
I hope that GS1 has thus secured a more justified place in the media landscape and can contribute to the general understanding of what the barcodes of the future look like and how they function.

GTIN (EAN) is a global standard used to uniquely identify digital and physical products, allowing the barcode to be scanned anywhere in the world throughout the supply chain.
