EAN-13 Barcodes

EAN-13 barcodes are used on most retail products (EXCEPT published books or magazines). These are used internationally as the most common type of barcode, except for in the USA and Canada, where UPC barcodes are more common. If you are primarily selling your products in the USA or Canada, you may wish to consider UPC Barcodes.

Here are some common questions:

How many barcodes do I need?

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 colours of the same product). However, if the retailer uses barcodes for option 2, 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.

Will Your Barcodes Work Worldwide?

Yes, they will. We can supply EAN-13 Barcodes (which are used worldwide) and UPC-A Barcodes (USA and Canada).

Do Your Barcodes Work in Every Shop?

Our barcodes are accepted in nearly all stores worldwide. However, there are a few exceptions. For further details, please see Barcode Acceptance.

What Type of Barcode Do I need?

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

Where will my barcode be registered?

We offer free registration on the International Barcodes Database.

Using your EAN barcode:

Once you receive your barcode and image files, you can easily select a file format to suit your software and incorporate it into your overall product packaging design. This ensures your product is ready for use once printed. Should you need to change the size of your barcode, make sure you do not reduce the overall size to below 30X20mm if it can be avoided. See our barcode specifications page for more details.

You do not need to supply any product information to use. You can 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.
