How Do I Create a Barcode for My Product?

To generate a valid bar code for retail use, you have to register it at your local GS1 organization. Please follow these steps:

1. Open the website https://www.gs1.org.
2. Register your company to get a company prefix for your barcode number.
3. After receiving a GS1 company prefix, you are able to assign a identification number for your product(s).
4. Now you are ready to generate the required EAN-13 / UPC-A barcode using one of our barcode software tools.
5. We recommend to test the generated barcode before using it on your product(s).

Your appropriate GS1 organization can provide you with specific information about getting GS1 company prefix or assigning numbers.
