Frequently Asked Questions
What type of barcode should I use for a retail business?
Retailers mainly use UPC & EAN-13 barcodes for products and ITF-14 for supply chain transportation, but may also use in-house ad hoc barcodes such as GS1 DataBar for fresh products and QR for discounts or promos. Typically, retail barcodes are UPC or EAN 1D barcodes, but standards are starting to transition to 2D barcodes for promotions and products.
Can retail scanners read QR codes for retail?
You should consult a scanner expert to ensure your chosen scanner can read QR codes for retail. Generally, most image-based scanners can read QR codes and data matrix codes.
Why do I need a barcode for retail?
A barcode is a machine-readable representation of data (Auto-ID) that helps ID products quickly and accurately. Adopting barcode systems enables you speed up checkouts, reduce errors, and improve inventory tracking.
Can I create my own barcodes for my retail store?
If you are using barcodes for internal purposes, such as stock control, you can design and print your own barcodes using Bartender software and a desktop printer. However, if you intend to sell your products externally, you will need to contact GS1. They can design and register your barcode in their database, helping you avoid any duplication issues.
