What is Barcode Registration?

Barcode registration is the process of assigning a unique code to a product, which can be scanned and tracked throughout its lifecycle. Barcodes are essential for identifying products in retail stores, warehouses, and during shipping. The barcode is typically a series of numbers represented by parallel lines (or QR codes) that provide specific information about a product, including its price, manufacturer, and other key details.

For products to be sold in stores or online marketplaces, a registered barcode is necessary to ensure that each product can be identified and tracked automatically. Barcodes are used by major retailers, wholesalers, and distributors to process transactions, stock management, and logistics.

Why Do You Need Barcode Registration?

Inventory Management: Barcodes make it easier to manage inventory, track stock, and reduce human error in stock counting and ordering.

Faster Checkout Process: With barcode registration, cashiers can scan items quickly during checkout, improving the efficiency of the sales process.

Retailer Requirement: Many retailers and e-commerce platforms (such as Amazon, Flipkart, etc.) require products to have barcodes to list them on their marketplace or store.

International Trade: A barcode helps your product be recognized internationally, making it easier to trade in the global market. The same barcode can be used across different countries, ensuring consistency and accuracy in product tracking.

Brand Visibility: Having a barcode gives your business a professional image, showing that your products are compliant with global standards, which can help increase customer trust.

Compliance with Standards: Barcodes help businesses comply with retail standards set by organizations like the GS1 (Global Standards One), ensuring consistency and compatibility with retailers, logistics providers, and online platforms.

Types of Barcodes

UPC (Universal Product Code): Commonly used in North America, UPC barcodes are typically 12 digits long and are used for consumer goods.

EAN (European Article Number): Widely used outside North America, EAN barcodes are typically 13 digits long and are used in a global context for retail goods.

QR Code: A type of 2D barcode that stores more data than traditional barcodes, QR codes are used for a variety of applications, including marketing, payments, and product tracking.

ISBN (International Standard Book Number): Used for books and publications, ISBN barcodes help identify and manage books in libraries, bookstores, and online platforms.

GS1-128 Barcode: Used primarily in the logistics and supply chain industry, GS1-128 barcodes allow for more detailed product information, such as expiration dates and batch numbers.
