The GS1 DataBar symbols (formerly known as Reduced Space Symbology-RSS) hold more information in a much smaller footprint than traditional EAN/UPC bar code. And though it is not intended to replace EAN/UPC bar codes on all categories of products, there are significant benefits that are already being implemented for loose produce and coupons.
The smaller size of these bar codes allows loose produce to be tagged. The benefits of this use, according to the Produce Marketing Association, "include: 1. Increased accuracy of product identification of loose items (such as organically grown versus conventionally grown) by scanning instead of key-entering PLU codes; 2. Better product management through the supply chain, including point-of-sale; 3. Better traceability; 4. Better category management; 5. Better shrink control 6. Improved consumer shopping experience with more effi cient bar codes."
