GS1 DataBar : What’s behind the name?
7
GS1 DataBar, the next-generation bar code,
carries over 100 different bar code data
elements like :
- serial number - lot number - expiration dates - measurements
A GTIN in a GS1 Databar needs less space (less than 50%)

GS1 DataBar applications
•A barcode for: very small products Loose products (ex. Vegetables & fruits) – a better category management and a faster processing at POS
An international solution for: Variable weight products (ex. weight, price, date, …)
Coupons (ex. Date)
Traçability (ex. Lot number, Best before, ... )

Advantages
• Use of “international” GTIN instead of national structures
• Possibility to make use of data synchronisation (GDSN)
• Better control of the best before date• Less food waste and a possibility of better food waste
management. • Possibility of encoding additionnal data (Lot n°, serial
n°…)• Stocks optimization• Traceability/ recall made easier
