About Barcode Registration (GS1)

GS1 barcodes are globally recognized and help businesses standardize product identification across different platforms and regions. Each barcode consists of a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), which uniquely identifies a product and its variations such as size, color, or packaging.

Once registered, the business is allotted a unique company prefix, which forms the basis for generating multiple barcodes for different products. This allows businesses to scale and manage large product inventories efficiently.

Barcode registration is mandatory for selling products on major e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and BigBasket, as well as for supplying goods to retail chains and supermarkets.

The process involves submitting business details, selecting the number of barcodes required, and paying the applicable fee. Once approved, businesses can generate and assign barcodes to their products.

GS1 barcodes also play a crucial role in supply chain management, enabling real-time tracking of products from manufacturing to end consumers.
