Buy Barcodes For Amazon
If you have products that you want to list on Amazon, you will need barcode numbers for them. Amazon requires a unique barcode number for each listing on its websites. Our EAN-13 barcode numbers are perfect for use on Amazon. Amazon has confirmed that our barcode numbers are acceptable and meet their standards. We have many customers using our barcode numbers on their Amazon products (here are some examples see our Products on the Amazon page.) Our barcode numbers can also be used on other online shops (e.g. CD Baby or Play.com) and in normal retail stores.
We cannot guarantee that our barcodes will be accepted by any specific retailer, including Amazon, as any retailer can impose any restrictions they choose on any products they stock, no matter how arbitrary or unreasonable those restrictions are, and restrctions can be changed at any time.
See IMPORTANT INFORMATION about listing on Amazon.
See our useful videos on listing on Amazon.
Note: You will need a unique barcode number for each separate listing on Amazon. Your choice is to make separate listings for each different variation (size/colour/design) of your product or make one general listing for your product & get your customers to specify the size/colour after ordering.
If you prefer your barcode in 12-digit UPC-A format (instead of 13-digit EAN-13 format), that is fine – just let us know when making your order.
“How do I use my barcode number on Amazon?”
After we receive your order, we will email your barcode numbers to you. You can then assign your barcodes to your products and start listing your products on Amazon. You can begin using your barcode numbers on Amazon straight away – all you need to do is type the barcode number into the form when making a listing for your product on Amazon. Later, Amazon will assign their own identification number – an ASIN (an Amazon Standard Identification Number) – to your product.
NOTE: If you are storing and dispatching your products yourself, you will only need a 13-digit EAN-13 (or 12-digit UPC-A) barcode number, which you can purchase above. However, if Amazon is storing and dispatching your products for you, you will need a barcode image to put onto your product packaging or label. A ‘barcode image’ is the actual barcode picture that gets decoded by scanning machines (i.e. vertical black bars & spaces with the barcode number underneath). If you require the barcode images as well, please see our Barcode Packages.
If you need barcode images for your number, please order them here. We will send your barcode images to you via email in 5 different digital formats (eps, tiff, BMP, pdf & jpeg) – you can choose which format you prefer and put the barcode onto your product packaging or label.
