On 26 June 1974, a packet of chewing gum became the first barcoded product to be scanned in store. Today, barcodes play a significant supply chain role, ensuring products hit retail shelves at the right times.

GS1 is a global, neutral, non-profit standards organisation that manages the barcode standard used by retailers, manufacturers and suppliers.

GS1’s standards allow organisations to identify, capture and share information easily, creating a common language that underpins systems and processes all over the world. GS1 tools help organisations exchange critical data from manufacturing all the way to the consumer.

Designed by consensus, GS1’s standards are proven, open and benefit from collaboration with respected global companies as well as local SME’s.

GS1 standards are operating in many industries. Their core sectors are retail, healthcare, transport and logistics and foodservice.

Since several years, the communication agency, Page in extremis creates and produces several GS1 Healthcare’s publications in the framework of their strategic communication plans.

Page in extremis establishes brands and strengthens the reputation of leading corporations, institutions and associations.

Page in extremis is based in Brussels. The multidisciplinary team can help you define and translate the main messages of your organisation into brilliant visual systems.
