Barcode

(Redirected from GTIN14)

Barcode is a representation of an identification number, easy-to-read by optical machine devices.

Typically barcode are used by retailers to identify a specific product. To make sure no barcodes ever collide, barcode identification numbers are not randomly chosen but assigned by an organization responsible for their uniqueness (manufacturers are assigned a range of barcodes they can use for their products for a maintenance fee). Largest product identification system is maintained by GS1, which includes Universal Product Code (UPC) and European Article Number (EAN).

We can provide a certified GTIN-13 trade item number (represented as EAN barcode) free of charge together with manufacturing of your products.

Creating Barcode

If you want to submit your own barcode it has to be done in vector graphics and unless you order barcode-creation from us we are not responsible for checking their validity/readability.
