When a product’s barcode is rejected by a retailer, the consequences can be financially devastating. Companies using non-GS1 barcodes often find themselves facing expensive rebranding, repackaging, or even product recalls. This situation is entirely avoidable by ensuring that your products are equipped with GS1-compliant barcodes from the start.

GS1 barcodes offer more than just product identification; they provide verification, traceability, and global recognition that ensure your products will be accepted by retailers worldwide. By using GS1 barcodes, you significantly reduce the risk of rejection and the need for costly repackaging efforts.

For businesses looking to scale, the initial investment in GS1 barcodes is a small price to pay compared to the expenses that come with fixing barcode-related issues down the road. Ensuring compliance early on will protect your business from unnecessary costs and disruptions.
