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.

Company prefix code

The first digits of the Barcode identify the Barcodes Pro Member Organization (not necessarily where the product is actually made).Note that EAN-13 codes beginning with 0 are actually 12-digit UPC codes with prepended 0 digit.

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.
