Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GTIN?
Yes, each product needs a GTIN from GS1. GS1 US sells a single GTIN for $30 one-time, or a 10-product company prefix for $250, plus $50 per year.
Can I use a GTIN from a reseller?
Yes, but retailers can reject them. Reseller GTINs are licensed to the original prefix holder, so we recommend a GTIN from GS1.
Should I print both the barcode and the QR code?
Yes, during the transition GS1 recommends printing both symbols, with the 2D code within 50 mm of the linear barcode. DLCode places them 4 mm apart in one file.
Is Sunrise 2027 a law?
No, Sunrise 2027 is a GS1 US industry goal for US retail point-of-sale scanners to read 2D barcodes by the end of 2027. It is a goal, not a law.
Does the register need internet to read the code?
No, point-of-sale software reads the GTIN from the URL path without contacting a server. Only a phone camera opens the URL.
Does a recall notice replace my official notification?
No, a notice adds to your notification to FDA or USDA FSIS, retailers, and consumers. It does not replace it.
What happens after December 31, 2030?
Hosting renews at $29 per year for any pack size. If you do not renew, each code continues to open a basic page with the product name and brand.
Can I use my own domain in the code?
Codes use dlcode.org by default. To put your own domain in the code, contact hello@dlcode.org before you print.
Does the packaging checker upload my artwork?
No, the checker reads your artwork in the browser, and your files are not uploaded.
Is DLCode part of GS1?
No, DLCode is operated by Coastal Sunbeam LLC, an independent Wyoming company. It is not part of GS1 and is not affiliated with, certified by, or endorsed by GS1.
