Standard GS1 Digital Link
Generates the GS1 URL (`/01/GTIN/10/batch/21/serial`) with the correct Application Identifiers — compatible worldwide.
Solution
Kontext QR
The QR that proves your product is genuine and tells you which batch it came from — from the case to the shelf to the consumer, in a single scan. GS1 Digital Link with the correct Application Identifiers.
What it is
Overview
For a laboratory or a pharmaceutical distributor, a code that can’t tell one batch from the next is what turns a recall into a nightmare — and what leaves the door wide open to counterfeits. Kontext QR generates GS1-compliant QR codes (Digital Link) with the correct Application Identifiers, encoding GTIN, batch, and serial, so one single code serves the entire chain: batch-precise traceability on the shelf and proof of authenticity any consumer can verify with a phone.
A Digital Link QR lives at a standard GS1 URL (/01/…/10/…/21/…), interoperable worldwide — no proprietary generators, no formats only one trading partner understands. The same QR that traces also talks: product information, authenticity, and content for whoever scans it.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a GS1 Digital Link QR?
A QR code whose content is a URL in the GS1 standard format, including the GTIN and, optionally, batch and serial via Application Identifiers. A single code serves logistics, point of sale, and consumer access to product information.
Do I need a GTIN to use it?
Yes. The GTIN (8, 12, 13, or 14 digits) identifies the product. You can enter it manually or scan an existing barcode to capture it automatically.
In which format do I download the code?
SVG (vector, ideal for high-quality packaging print) or PNG. Both come ready for your artwork or for publishing online.
