Help & Support

We are always here to help

Barcodes allow companies to distribute and sell their products in a variety of Point of Sale retail and Online stores. Before you can start selling your products, you have to acquire a barcode for each unique product that you plan on selling. At Barcodes Pro, it’s our goal to assist our customers in securing high quality barcodes for the lowest prices.

Feel free to contact us at any time with any question.

Barcode Standards

The 13-digit EAN-13 European Article Number as a GTIN standard consists of these three main components.

UPC

The Universal Product Code (UPC) is a barcode symbology that is widely used in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries for tracking trade items in stores.

EAN

The European Article Number (EAN) is a Global Trade Item Number standard describing a barcode symbology and numbering system. It's used in global trade to identify a specific retail product type, from a specific manufacturer.

GTIN

Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) can be used by a company to uniquely identify all of its trade items. GTIN describes a family of EAN and UPC global data structures. For North American companies, the UPC is an existing form of the GTIN.

Explore the Restrictions

Some retailers may not accept the GTIN (EAN & UPC) numbers and Artwork issued by Barcodes Pro because the GTIN number or Artwork is not purchased directly through the GS1. Learn more about these retailers.

Wait for your barcode: it would take 5-10 seconds to get back to your order page and also to get an email from info@barcodes.pro with your order details and download link. All UPC and EAN barcodes will be sent in SVG, PNG image formats and in XLS, CSV spreadsheets.

After you get your barcode, you can edit the name, detailed information and specifications of your product on the Barcodes Pro Database (GEPIR) if you are a registered user on Barcodes Pro.

Legal and Secure

Barcodes Pro reserves the right and continue to be legally permitted to assign their company prefix numbers to our customers (companies, businesses, organizations or people) since Barcodes Pro purchased company prefixes from GS1 (formerly UCC or Uniform Code Council) before the class action suit has been settled in 2002.

Company prefix code

Product code

The product code is assigned by the manufacturer. The product code immediately follows manufacturer code. The total length of manufacturer code plus product code should be 9 or 10 digits.

Check digit

The check digit is an additional digit, used to verify that a barcode has been scanned correctly.
