The Barcodes We Offer
EAN-13 Barcodes
EAN-13 barcodes are widely utilized across India and many regions around the globe, with the exception of the United States and Canada. These barcodes are particularly effective for identifying retail product variants, such as a single 100g soap bar or bundled offerings, like a pack of three 100g snack items.Designed to facilitate easy scanning and inventory management, EAN-13 barcodes enhance the retail experience by allowing for quick checkouts and efficient stock tracking. However, it’s important to note that EAN-13 barcodes are not suitable for books and magazines, which typically use different classification systems like ISBN.
UPC-A Barcodes
UPC (Universal Product Code) barcodes are 12-digit GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) identifiers predominantly used in the United States and Canada. These barcodes are essential for tracking and managing retail products, making them ideal for various applications, such as single-item variants like a 100g soap bar or product bundles, such as a pack of three 100g snack items.The UPC barcode system facilitates quick and accurate scanning at points of sale, improving the efficiency of inventory management and sales processes. However, it’s important to note that UPC barcodes are not applicable for books and magazines, which typically utilize the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) system for proper categorization and identification.
A barcode is an optical representation of data used for the automatic identification and tracking of products, assets, or entities. It comprises parallel lines and spaces of different widths, which can be scanned and decoded by a barcode reader. While barcodes serve various purposes, they are most commonly seen on retail products to retrieve price and product details at checkout. In these cases, the barcode is simply a 12 or 13-digit number encoded as an image.

No, some retailers in certain countries only accept barcodes purchased directly from GS1. Retailers may have their own specific requirements for barcodes, which can vary. In India, for example, stores like Reliance and D-mart require registration with GS1 for acceptance. These requirements can change over time. While we have successfully sold thousands of barcodes worldwide, and most stores will accept our barcodes, we recommend checking with individual retailers to confirm their barcoding policy if you have any concerns.
So far we have had no issues with e-commerce platforms including Amazon India but if you want to signup or have already signed up on Amazon’s ‘Brand Registry’, you will need a GS1 registration. Our barcodes will not work in that case. It is always better to check with them before purchasing.
