Retail SMEs need to register with GS1 UK if they are labelling products with barcodes to sell on to distributors and supermarkets.

New members are sitting within GS1 UK’s historically largest sectors: health, beauty and cosmetics, clothing, food and drink (10 pc of new joiners overall). between them, these four sectors accounted for 41pc of all new joiners. However, one smaller sector clearly ripe for disruption is children and baby products, which posted a 32pc increase in membership year on year.
