Are you ready for GS1 Compliance?

Major retailers like Tesco, Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are rapidly shifting their standards to require GS1-compliant 2D barcodes and QR codes on packaging. For food and beverage manufacturers, this isn’t just a future compliance tick-box. It’s an immediate operational shift.

Moving from traditional 1D barcodes to the next generation of 2D/QR codes allows you to pack wealths of data (like batch numbers, expiry dates and allergens) into a single scan. It improves traceability, reduces waste and keeps your retail partners happy.

But updating your packaging lines without causing downtime or compliance errors can be a headache.

That’s where Harford Control Ltd comes in.

We specialise in helping manufacturers achieve seamless, risk-free transitions to next-gen GS1 compliance. Our Autocoding and Label Verification systems ensure every item leaving your factory perfectly matches retail standards, preventing costly rejections and fines.
