Barcodes for Magazines
Barcode Images based on your ISSN number
If you don’t have one already, we recommend getting an ISSN number for your magazine (or periodical publication) – you can get an ISSN number from the NZ National Library.
After you have your ISSN number, please come back to us and purchase the barcode images for your ISSN number below:
Note – these barcode images are used worldwide
Here are some of the magazines that are using our ISSN barcode images:
“Thank you for your very speedy attention to my request for an ISSN image. It is greatly appreciated. I will most certainly remember your company in future.” Greg W
How to use your barcode:
We will email your barcode images in 5 different formats (eps, pdf, tiff, BMP & jpeg). You can choose which format to use – insert the barcode image into the design for your magazine cover before printing.
When your retailer receives your publication, they will enter the barcode number & product details into their system (this will connect your barcode to your publication). After that, when your barcode is scanned, the product details will appear on the retailer’s checkout screen.
Supplement Digits:
Some magazines have a 2-digit (or 5-digit) supplement number (like in the example below). The supplement digits are used to indicate the issue number. If you want your barcode to have supplement digits, let us know when making your order (enter the supplements you require into the “additional information” section when checking out).
