Barcode Number Search Online

What is a Barcode Number Search?

A barcode number search (EAN‑13, UPC, GTIN) enables you to enter the numeric code printed under the barcode and retrieve associated product or company information. A barcode number serves as a unique identifier for a product. The actual product data is stored in external databases. Barcodes themselves do not contain product information.

If you register the barcode (GTIN) in online databases, you can retrieve information such as the company name, product details, and even where to purchase the product. If no one has registered the GTIN online, your search won’t return any information. This is fairly common, as many manufacturers do not register information against their barcode numbers. This is especially the case for older products that were developed before internet databases and smartphones.

It is important to note that there isn’t one complete worldwide barcode database. There are many databases. Some databases allow updates from the barcode owner. Sadly, one of the largest global barcode databases is out of date and doesn’t allow updates to show accurate information.

How do Online Barcode Number Search Tools Work?

There are two ways search tools work. These are phone-based scanning apps or website search forms. Both search online databases for the number.

Why Use Barcode Search in NZ?

  • Verify product authenticity: Identify if a GTIN is an official number.

  • Find manufacturer information: Useful for retailers, importers or consumers doing product research. Barcode numbers do not indicate the origin of the product. So looking up a barcode number can give you more accurate information.

  • List accurately online: Some marketplaces require valid GTINs to prevent duplication or errors
