EAN Barcode Packages (Retail Barcodes)
Do you need EAN barcodes for your retail products?
Our EAN barcodes (also called EAN-13 or EAN13 codes or GTIN13) are perfect for use on all retail products – not only in the UK but also worldwide (except the Us where UPC barcodes are more common- please look here if you require your barcode in UPC format – our barcodes can be used in either of these two formats)
If you buy an EAN barcode package from us below, you will receive:
1. A unique EAN-13 number (barcode or GTIN number)
2. Barcode images (in 4 different formats: jpeg, png, SVG & pdf)
3. A guarantee certificate
4. Barcode Registration

Using your EAN barcode:
After you receive your EAN format barcodes, you can put them on your products & begin to use them immediately. We will email the EAN images to you in standard sizing (approx. 38 mm wide x 25 mm high) – you can resize the barcodes, if you need, to fit your label or packaging. The smallest recommended size for an EAN barcode is around 30 mm wide x 20 mm high.
We don’t need any specific product information from you. When we receive your order, we will give you some completely NEW un-assigned EAN barcode numbers (these barcodes will not have any product information connected to them). After you receive your EAN codes, you can allocate them to your products however you wish and then pass your products on to your retailers. When your retailers receive your products, they will enter the barcode numbers and product details into their system. After that, when one of your barcodes is scanned, the relevant product details will appear on the retailer’s computer screen.

Here are some common questions:
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 straight forward 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.
