millsryno Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 For you guys stocking your baits in stores: Do you have a UPC code on your packages? Do you have to have one? Do you have a different UPC code for every color/style? Does it cost money to get a UPC code? How long does it take to get a UPC code? Where do you go to get a UPC code?

GB GONE Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Ryan: I have a lot of shops. I don't use UPC codes at all. none of my shops have asked for them. They are relatively easy to print with the proper software as we us bar code labels at work for inventory. The store should be able to give you insight on what format to use. If the shop has their own system, you can creat any type of label that is read on their system. If you are trying to go to Walmart or a large chain. They will tell you how big the lable must be, what it must contain, etc... Good luck!!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I checked on this once. You have to get information from the UPC Commision (i think this is what it was called) and they charge a considerable fee to issue a UPC Number. It consists of a main identification number and then you add other numbers to correspond with your inividual products. Its really not worth doing unless you supply the big box stores or maybe Bass Pro Shops. Then it is a requirement for inventory control.
