EAN-13 Barcode Packages

EAN Barcodes are used on most retail products except for books and magazines (If you need a barcode for books or magazines click on these links, do not order an EAN13 barcode for them). They are accepted in all countries and are by far the most common type of barcode internationally. Only in the USA and Canada are UPC Barcodes more popular (if you are selling there you may want a UPC Barcode instead).

If you buy a barcode package from us below, you will receive your barcode automatically by email within a few minutes. The email will contain:
1. A unique EAN-13 barcode number;
2. Barcode images (in 5 different formats: jpeg, tiff, bmp, eps & pdf); and
3. A guarantee certificate
4. Barcode Registration instructions.

Using your barcode:

Once you receive your barcode with the images as attached files, you can then simply choose whichever file format you like best and include it in your product packaging. This way, when your product goes to print, the barcode will be ready for use. Note – if you are changing the size at this stage you should not reduce the overall size to below 30X20mm if it can be avoided. See our barcode specifications page for more details.

No product information is required from you. You can simply assign the barcodes to your products however you want. Retailers will receive your product and scan the barcode and information into their system the first time, so that when it is scanned from that point onwards, the product information will appear.

“Thanks David. My business is growing slowly and i am slowly introducing more product lines to the market. I will definitely be buying more bar codes in the near future.” Satish
