Here are some common questions:
It is best practice to get a different barcode for each product or product variation. This is because stores use barcodes for two primary purposes:
1. Barcodes are used for obtaining the price of the product when scanned at the checkout.
2. Barcodes are used for keeping track of stock and deciding when to reorder an item.
This means that if the retailers only use barcodes for option 1, you can get away with having the same barcode for 2 product variations (i.e., different colors of the same product). However, if the retailer uses barcodes for option 2 as well, then a different barcode will be required for each product variation.
In general, retailers prefer to stock products that will be straightforward to manage. Some retailers may prefer not to stock products if they have to manually count how many are left of each size and reorder accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that you have a different barcode for each variation.
Yes, they will. We can supply both EAN-13 Barcodes (which are used worldwide) and UPC-A Barcodes (USA and Canada).
Our barcodes are accepted in nearly all stores worldwide; however, there are a few exceptions. For further details, please see Barcode Acceptance.
If you’re not sure which kind of barcode you need for your product, our quick rule of thumb is as follows:
Selling in the USA = UPC-A
Selling internationally = EAN-13
