This is likely where things will head as printing serialized products is slow, cumbersome and is fraught with issues due to smearing, resolution etc.. and the reason you mentioned.

I am actually looking for feedback if they are giving it.

My hope was to help spread information about the upcoming changes to packaging but knew I might get the stings of criticism.

I have been deep into this space for a fair bit of time now. The real power is in Recalls and Return Fraud. There a ton of other nice things that this will empower of course. AMA - I will do my best to answer.

Not advertising - just trying to get the word out on 2D codes and RFID and what they provide consumers.

For those saying "Why not something else?" - it comes down to adoption - QR was just the more popular winner. While the register/till is where most of the scanning is happening the QR is just a normal URL and consumer can scan them.
