Everything you need to know about QR codes, barcodes, expiry dates, and marketing messages
Food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and retail companies across Ontario and Quebec are facing rapid changes in packaging requirements. Consumers expect clearer information, retailers demand better traceability, and regulators are moving toward universal adoption of 2D barcodes and QR codes.
Packaging is no longer just a label... It’s a data carrier and a marketing tool!
Why QR Codes and 2D Barcodes Are Becoming Essential in Canada?
Canadian retailers and suppliers are shifting from traditional 1D barcodes to GS1 DataMatrix and QR codes that can store expiry dates, batch numbers, traceability data, and promotional content. These codes improve scanning accuracy in busy Ontario and Quebec distribution networks and create new digital touchpoints for shoppers.
What Does This Mean for Your Production Line?
To keep up with regional demand and compliance expectations, companies need coding systems that deliver high-quality, scannable marks across all packaging types: flexible films, bottles, cartons, trays, and cases. Production speed, durability, and readability are now nonnegotiable.
