The future of connected packaging just got a whole lot smarter
We’re excited to announce the launch of the SmartLinks Self-Serve Platform, now live and available starting from free. Our platform provides brands of all sizes the ability to easily create connected product experiences using QR codes powered by GS1, helping them prepare for the upcoming regulations — including the new Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements.
The humble barcode is evolving into something much more powerful: the GS1 Digital Link QR code. These codes open a gateway from your product to rich digital content and direct consumer engagement — and by 2027, they’ll be an industry standard.
Whether you’re a global brand, an artisan producer, or a fast-moving startup, SmartLinks helps you take advantage of this shift with ease, scale and compliance.
