GS1 Data Matrix barcodes

Data Matrix barcodes are the natural evolution in automatic identification for medication management, information capture, and verification of products in medication use systems.

GS1 Data Matrix is a two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbology with very high data density, storing more crucial information — GTIN (NDC), Lot, and Expiry — compared to a linear barcode.
