What kind of barcode should I get?
For retail products, the standard symbology in the U.S.A. is UPC-A, or the Universal Product Code. Internationally, the standard symbology is EAN-13 (European Article Numbering international retail product code).
For marking shipping cartons of retail products for distribution, the most common symbol is the UPC Shipping Container Symbol (ITF-14).
For marking shipping containers of all types, the most commonly-used barcode is UCC/EAN-128. Different industries often have specific requirements for barcode labeling, so be sure to get details from your customers when they ask you to start marking packages or items with barcodes.
For books, the international standard is the Bookland EAN symbology (ISBN barcode).
For periodicals, the international standard symbology is ISSN (International Standard Serial Numbering). In addition to the ISSN code, SISAC (International Standard Serial Numbering) codes are often found on serial publications.
Before you contact GS1, estimate how many different numbers you will need for your products. Be sure to get enough numbers, but remember that the registration fee goes up for more numbers. Every variation of every product will require a separate number. For example, if Product ABC is available in three sizes (small, medium, and large) and in three different colors (red, blue, green), you will need nine (9) separate numbers... one for each size/color combination. GS1 will assign you a manufacturer ID number that you will use as the leading digits in your barcode. You will use the remaining digits to assign a unique number to each of your products.
