Before and after
Before
Many U.S. POS lanes and supplier labels still depend on 1D UPC symbols.
After
Retailers and suppliers prepare imaging scanners, POS software, and package artwork for 2D symbols carrying GS1 data.
Notes
- This row does not claim every U.S. retailer will accept every 2D symbol on the same date.
- Use direct retailer readiness notices before advising suppliers on live packaging changes.
