Source 2L inc., Hudson, Massachusetts – 2L inc. announced today that the 2D barcode migration being enforced in the upcoming 2027 Sunrise Initiative will be an easy transition when companies use the 2L PRO 3 Engraving Software combined with either the Spring Loaded Engraving Tool or the  CNC Dot Peen Marking Tool.

The 2L PRO 3 Engraving software has the ability to generate both 2D Data Matrix barcodes and GS1 DataMatrix 2D barcodes.  This will bring companies into compliance with the upcoming 2D migration initiative.

This Direct Part Marking solution provides manufacturers and machine shops with an inexpensive means of producing 2D Barcodes and human readable text.

According to a company spokesman, “This solution provides opportunities for small manufacturers and job shops to be able to bid on jobs previously unavailable to them. The engraving software and Spring Loaded Engraving Tool combined with a 2D Data Matrix Toolbit or the CNC Dot Peen Marking Tool allows virtually any machine shop to be able to produce the new marks utilizing CNC equipment they already have.”

With 2L’s superior customer service, the intuitive and easy to use software and tools allow for quick implementation with no prior direct part marking knowledge necessary.

Demonstration videos are available on the company’s web site www.2Linc.com.
