2D Data Matrix Barcodes

Sunrise 2027; GS1 has approved three 2D barcode formats for use at retail point-of-sale:

  1. QR Code with GS1 Digital Link URI: The most consumer-familiar format. Scannable by smartphones. Can link to a live web page with real-time product data.

  2. GS1 DataMatrix: A compact square code well-suited to small labels, fast production lines, and regulated industries like pharma and food.

  3. Data Matrix with GS1 Digital Link URI: Combines the compact size of DataMatrix with web-link capability.

It would be nice to keep up with the industry standards using CorelDraw instead of relying on outside sources and converting nightmares.
