GS1 Sunrise 2027 is an upcoming industry-wide initiative that will require retail point-of-sale systems to be capable of scanning 2D barcodes, particularly QR codes and Datamatrix barcodes, by the end of 2027. While 1D barcodes won’t disappear overnight, 2D barcodes are quickly becoming the new standard, driven by both industry requirements and consumer expectations.
What are some 2D barcode benefits?

Improve inventory accuracy
Automate receiving, routing, and quality control
Provide dynamic web-based product experiences
Streamline global trade and regulatory documentation
As a full service Auto-ID provider, Priddy Sales is uniquely positioned to support you with this initiative. From material selection to barcode design and scanning to printing and applying, we can help implement the 2D barcode systems that meet both GS1 standards and operational needs.
