Question 1

What is a barcode and how can Barcodetree support your business with cost-effective barcodes?

Accepted Answer

A barcode is a machine-readable code that uniquely identifies products. It consists of parallel lines and spaces of varying widths that can be scanned to quickly retrieve product information. At Barcodetree, we offer affordable EAN and UPC barcodes that meet international standards. These barcodes help you track inventory, streamline sales processes, and ensure your products are easily identifiable in retail settings.

Question 2

What is the difference between EAN and UPC barcodes?

Accepted Answer

Both EAN (European Article Number) and UPC (Universal Product Code) barcodes serve the important function of uniquely identifying products, but they have some key differences. EAN barcodes are typically used worldwide and come in two main formats: EAN-13, which consists of 13 digits, and EAN-8, which consists of 8 digits. On the other hand, UPC barcodes are predominantly used in the United States and Canada and are always 12 digits long. At Barcodetree, we offer both EAN and UPC barcodes, ensuring your products are uniquely identified and compatible with international and North American retail systems.

Question 5

How does barcoding work, and how can Barcodetree help my business with affordable barcodes?

Accepted Answer

Barcoding is a system that involves encoding information in a visual pattern that can be read by a machine, such as a barcode scanner. The common types of barcodes used by businesses are EAN (European Article Number) and UPC (Universal Product Code). These barcodes contain a unique sequence of numbers and lines that, when scanned, provide essential product information quickly and accurately. This facilitates easier inventory management, enhances the checkout process, and reduces human error.

Barcodetree specializes in providing low-cost EAN/UPC barcodes that are perfect for businesses looking to streamline their operations without significant upfront investment. By purchasing our affordable barcode packages, you get officially registered and globally recognized barcodes.

Question 6

Are barcodes issued by India Barcodes accepted by all Indian retail outlets and stores?

Accepted Answer

The Uniform Code Council (UCC now known as GS1) originally issued all of the stock that India Barcodes sells.  We therefore guarantee that the codes are genuine and unique. Our customers have success stocking their products in retail outlets in India and worldwide as well as e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Meesho and FlipKart with few exceptions. However, we strongly suggest that you make contact with the retailers you are looking to supply with your products first, to check about their individual barcode guidelines before making any barcode purchases.

Question 7

Will Barcodetree barcodes work on Amazon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Barcodetree barcodes are accepted on Amazon. We provide high-quality EAN/UPC barcodes that meet the requirements of major online retail platforms, including Amazon. Our barcodes are reliable, globally recognized, and ensure seamless product listings on Amazon. However, we cannot guarantee that our barcodes will always be accepted, as Amazon may use GS1’s GEPIR to verify brand ownership. For more details, visit our Using Barcodes on Amazon page.

Question 8

Does a barcode store information?

Accepted Answer

No, barcodes do not store information. They are unique sequences of numbers encoded into an image of vertical black and white bars. The barcode number is used to quickly retrieve information stored in a retailer’s database. This unique number is assigned to your product and recorded in the retailer’s sales or inventory system. Essentially, a barcode is just a unique number until it is linked to product information in a database.

Question 11

How many barcodes do I need for my products when using Barcodetree's services?

Accepted Answer

The number of barcodes you need depends on the variety and nature of your products. Each unique product and variation, such as different colors, sizes, or packaging, requires its own barcode. 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. Barcodetree makes it easy to get the exact number of affordable EAN/UPC barcodes you need to unlock your business's success, ensuring every product variant is covered.
