GS1 DataMatrix is a Data Matrix symbol carrying GS1 Application Identifiers, combining 2D compactness with structured supply-chain data.
How it works
Like GS1-128 it uses FNC1 and AIs to encode GTIN, expiry, batch and serial numbers, but in a tiny 2D footprint.
Where it's used
Healthcare and pharmaceutical traceability, medical devices and regulated products requiring serialization.
