There are various ways to add a GTIN (EAN and UPC Barcode) to your product for sale in Local Retailers (groceries, minimarkets, supermarkets), Retail Stores and the Retail Store Chains (GDO).
Everything you need to know about GTIN for selling in Stores and GDO
You can integrate the Barcode image into the graphic design of the packaging, use pre-printed labels, or directly print on the package. It is important to ensure that you use a Product Identifier accepted by the distribution or retailer.
To sell your products in stores and large Store Chains, specific GTIN Barcodes such as EAN and UPC may be required. It is always advisable to be aware of the product coding requirements of the specific sales system.
By using a GTIN, you can be sure that your code will be accepted by major retailers and distributors worldwide.
In general, each sales system has its specific requirements, and we have the appropriate solution for every need. For minimarkets, local distributors or products without traceability, it will be sufficient to use the “shared prefix” Barcode provided by our Standard Service.
Always remember to label your product with the GTIN (EAN and UPC Barcode) only after obtaining approval from the customer company’s coding office.
It is no coincidence that the GS1 standard is widely used and that the GTIN | EAN | UPC Barcode uniquely identifies the product and packaging worldwide. For e-commerce, you need to identify products with a unique identifier code, just like in stores or supermarkets.
