Add a unique QR to every unit. Keep the line exactly as it is.
You already print a batch code on everything you make. TrueGTIN makes that code unique per unit, which is the difference between knowing a batch shipped and knowing where each unit went — with no new hardware and no change to line speed.

Sound familiar?
- Every quote for serialization starts with replacing equipment that currently works fine.
- Once a unit leaves the plant it is invisible, so counterfeits and diversion go unmeasured.
- Batch numbers are identical across thousands of units, so they prove nothing about any one of them.
What changes when every unit is unique
Unit-level identity
One serial per unit, so traceability stops at the item rather than the batch.
Authentication anyone can run
A customer, distributor or inspector verifies with a phone camera. Nothing to install.
Real post-shipment data
Scan counts, geography and duplicate attempts, where previously there was nothing.
Works at any scale
Start with a handheld printer and a CSV; the same file feeds an automated line when you grow.
Keep your line. Add intelligence.
This is the whole point of TrueGTIN. The operator, the printer and the shop floor stay the same. The only thing that changes is what is inside the code.
- Handheld inkjet
- Thermal transfer
- Continuous inkjet (CIJ)
- Thermal inkjet (TIJ)
- Laser coders
- Print-and-apply
- Fully automated lines
From product to proof in six steps
No new hardware. No line rebuild. The only thing that changes is what's inside the code you already print.
- 1
Create your product
Add the product once: name, GTIN, pack size, and what a customer should see when they scan it.
- 2
Create a batch
Enter MFG, EXP, MRP and batch number, then set how many units this production run covers.
- 3
Generate unique QR codes
TrueGTIN issues one serialised code per unit and hands you a print-ready CSV or PDF.
- 4
Print on the printer you already own
Handheld inkjet, thermal, in-line coder or print-and-apply — the same file drops into what you run today.
- 5
Your customer scans
Any phone camera opens the verification page. No app, no login, nothing to download.

Verify and track
They see genuine or suspect instantly. You see every scan, location and duplicate attempt on your dashboard.
See what your customer sees
No app required. Scan this with your phone camera.
Standards, when you need them
Codes are GS1 Digital Link URIs backed by EPCIS 2.0 events. You do not have to care about that on day one — but when a customer, retailer or regulator asks, the format is already right.
