Frequently Asked Questions
How do I obtain a barcode to sell my products through distributors and retailers?
You can create your own barcode very easily.
There are several free barcode generators online, or you can use a barcode design software tool, like Bartender, for a professional barcode label. If you wish to use barcodes in a retail or distribution supply chain, you will have to ensure that it’s compliant with specific industry standards and have it registered through GS1. This will ensure that your barcode is unique.
How do I know what barcode label is right for my use?
There are so many choices.
Yes, there are many choices to choose from, with the best solution for you depending on numerous factors, including the type of barcode symbology, label sizes, costs, and variable data requirements.
In order to get the right label, contact one of our barcoding experts for advice.
Should I print in house or have my labels printed for me?
In-house printing of your barcodes can have many advantages, such as flexibility, lower cost for small print jobs, and easy customisation. The disadvantage is that in-house requires extra investment into printers, design software, and in-house expertise to complete design and print jobs.
Choosing to outsource your label printing opens up the possibilities available to you, with more expertise and a wide choice of quality label types and specialist finishes to improve overall print quality. However, it does require tooling costs and larger print runs for better pricing.
