Painter1 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 What is involved in UPC coding so retailers can track product? My daughter is interested in getting some product on shelves and I know this is needed. I welcome your help in learning more about the process and costs. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Painter, You can accomplish this in one of three ways. 1. You can register with GS1 and pay a membership fee. This will get you a unique number that identifies your company and the you buy as many barcodes as you like. 2. You can buy barcodes from a third party reseller. The barcodes will be unique to the item, but will be associated with the reseller. 3. If she is going to sell to local businesses she can ask the merchant what codes their equipment can read. Then she can produce her own codes with programs like DYMO and their thermal printer or Zebra software that will work with any printer and store bought sheet labels. I use the Dymo myself.
