Enter at least a GTIN and serial number.
A valid serialization barcode isn't just any 2D code — it must encode the right data in the right order using GS1 Application Identifiers. This tool builds the encoded string as (01) GTIN (21) Serial (10) Batch (17) Expiry and renders a scannable GS1 DataMatrix you can print or test against your scanners.
UAE Tatmeen (the national track-and-trace system for pharmaceuticals and medical products) uses a GS1 DataMatrix 2D barcode that encodes the GTIN, a unique serial number, the batch/lot, and the expiry date using GS1 Application Identifiers.
AI (01) carries the 14-digit GTIN, (21) the serial number, (10) the batch or lot number, and (17) the expiry date in YYMMDD format. This tool assembles them in the correct order automatically.
No — it's a free utility for generating and testing GS1 DataMatrix codes. For production serialization and reporting, follow the official Tatmeen onboarding and use an approved system.
