QR Code 42 manages GS1 Digital Link QR codes that serve as retail GTINs and shopper-facing web links, with routing by language, country, or lot.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.

For: Brands preparing product labels for 2D barcodes
Worth noticing: The illustrative GS1 URI uses identifier 01 for a GTIN and optional AI 10 for a lot number.

Field notes

The page says claims on the shared host receive admin review and describes a dispute process for contested GTINs; customers can also use their own domain. Its label export pairs the QR with UPC-A/EAN-13, and the site exposes API documentation and pricing publicly. The listed entry price is $15 per month, while the page says no card is required to get started.
