What is a barcode and how can Barcodetree help my business with affordable barcodes?A barcode is a machine-readable representation of data that provides a unique identifier for products.

At Barcodetree, we specialize in offering affordable EAN and UPC barcodes that comply with international standards. These barcodes are essential for tracking inventory, improving the efficiency of sales processes, and ensuring that your products can be easily identified in retail environments.

Can a barcode store information?Barcodes themselves do not hold information, they are simply a unique sequence of numbers encoded into an image represented by vertical black and white bars. The barcode number is simply used to quickly retrieve information stored a retailer’s database. This unique number is assigned to your product and recorded in a retailer’s sales/inventory system. Basically, the barcode is a unique number and has no informational value until the product is assigned manually via yourself or the retailer store. This is the same for barcodes purchased from any source (including GS1 India).

Many sellers on Amazon continue to use re-seller barcodes like ours to successfully list their products on Amazon.in, Amazon.com and other platforms. However we do not guarantee our barcodes will always be accepted on Amazon. This is due to Amazon using GS1’s GEPIR as one potential method to verify brand ownership.

For instance, if you have a T-shirt available in three colors and four sizes, you will need a total of 12 barcodes (one for each combination of color and size). Additionally, if you sell products in sets or bundles, those combinations will also require unique barcodes.
