Sunrise 2027 is coming fast — and for Caribbean rum and spirits producers, now is the time to start planning.
The move from traditional UPC/EAN linear barcodes to 2D GS1 Digital Link codes is more than a checkout change. One code can support retail scanning, consumer engagement, product information, traceability, logistics, transparency, and brand storytelling.
For export products especially, this transition needs to be considered early. Many labels will need to carry both the existing linear barcode and the new 2D code during the transition period, which means artwork, label space, compliance, and print quality all need to be reviewed.
At Caribbean Label Crafts Ltd., we are ready to help brands prepare — whether that means redesigning crowded label real estate, incorporating the new code into existing artwork, or creating fresh, connected packaging for the future.
The future of packaging is connected. Let’s start the conversation now.
