Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a GS1 barcode better than a shop barcode?
A GS1 barcode carries a globally unique GTIN recognised by all retailers and marketplaces, whereas local shop barcodes only work at one store.
How many barcodes do I need?
One GTIN is needed per product variant, so the number depends on product range and pack sizes.
Is the GS1 licence renewed?
Yes, GS1 membership is renewed annually, and the number allocation can be expanded as your range grows.
