Learn about coding product changes and Doverco coding solutions

Doverco Inc., with Markem Imaje coding and marking systems, deliver 100% GS1 DataMatrix-compliant codes for 2027 Sunrise deadlines. Explore our laser coding, thermal inkjet printers, and thermal transfer printers for pharma, food, beverages, agriculture, and retail products.

What is GS1 Sunrise 2027?

GS1's Sunrise 2027 initiative will mandate 2D barcodes like GS1 DataMatrix across retail, healthcare, and packaging expiry dates, batch numbers, serial numbers, and regulatory data into scannable symbols on products. Canadian pharmacies and other sectors are aligning with 2027 for behind-the-counter and consumer packaging, requiring high‑speed, durable 2D coding on cartons, bottles, films, and trays.

Your company will now be required to switch from 1D to 2D barcodes.
