EAN-13 barcodes for just about any retail product can be purchased below. The exceptions are Books and Magazines which use ISBN and ISSN barcodes.

Using your barcode:
When an order is placed we email you your barcode numbers with the images as attached files. You can then incorporate the barcode into your product packaging where it will be easily seen at the checkout. You can change the size of the barcode when incorporating it into the packaging if you want however you shouldn’t reduce the size to less than 30X20mm if it can be avoided. See the barcode dimensions on acceptable barcode sizing.
We don’t require any product info from you. When you product enters retailers for the first time they will scan it into their system and link the barcode and product details. We do request some product information as part of our registration service. This is completely optional.

Here are some common questions:
This means that if the retailers only use barcodes for option 1, you can get away with having the same barcode for 2 product variations (i.e. different colours of the same product), however if the retailer uses barcodes for option 2 as well, then a different barcode will be required for each product variation.
In general retailers prefer to stock products that will be straight forward to manage. Some retailers may prefer not to stock products if they have to manually count how many are left of each size and reorder accordingly. Therefore is is recommended that you have a different barcode for each variation.
Selling in the USA = UPC-A
Selling internationally = EAN-13
