Barcodes, those strips of alternating white and black vertical stripes of varying width that appear on just about everything you buy, have become a standard method of keeping track of products for both inventory and sale. Unlike serial numbers, which identify one unique item (akin to how a VIN number identifies a single car), barcodes classify categories of items by criteria like maker, type, size, style and price (for example, all Brand X, Model Y four-door sedans in red). If you intend to sell a product in a retail setting, you will likely need to have a legitimate barcode on the packaging. Fortunately, whether you need one barcode or thousands, or want them direct from the supervising organization or don't mind buying them secondhand, the process of acquiring barcodes is relatively simple.
Barcode registration is completely optional (your barcodes will work without it), however getting your barcode registered will raise the profile of your product on the internet. Once your bar code number and product details are registered on the major internet databases, they will join the thousands of products already contained in the databases. After that, when someone does an internet search for your barcode (or else scans your barcode using their fast phone), your barcode will be connected to your product.

1. Determine if a unique barcode is needed.
If you are manufacturing products for retail sale, especially at major retail outlets, you will almost certainly need to have identifying barcodes on the packaging. Contact your intended retailers, including those online, for information.
1) If you intend to use barcodes only to track the production process and/or manage inventory (that is, they will only be used internally), you as a manufacturer can define your own barcodes. However, it is required by the international barcode governing body (GS1) that these barcodes not leave your manufacturing premises or be offered for sale.
2) If you are using the barcode in any other way than for internal tracking, you need one authorized by GS1.
