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.

For many years, barcodes had a single purpose: to identify a product at the checkout. Today, however, businesses and consumers need much more product information.
With 2D barcodes from GS1, a single barcode can connect your product to retail, the supply chain, and digital experiences. As barcodes go digital, new opportunities emerge for businesses.
A traditional barcode contains just one piece of information: A product number.
But businesses are increasingly facing demands for more product information, better traceability, sustainability documentation, digital consumer experiences, and more.
All of this is enabled by 2D barcodes with GS1 Digital Link.
Imagine your barcode not only identifying a product, but also opening up a digital world of product information.
That’s the idea behind GS1 Digital Link.
