Overview

Bar Codes Talk offers a service for purchasing legitimate UPC and EAN barcodes, primarily catering to small businesses and e-commerce sellers who need to identify their products for retail and online sales. They provide numbers that are compatible with major platforms like Amazon, serving as a more affordable alternative to direct membership with GS1, the official global standards organization.

The service works by reselling legitimate barcode numbers that were originally issued by GS1 before their licensing model changed. This allows users to acquire unique product identifiers without the recurring fees associated with GS1 membership, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious entrepreneurs. They also provide educational resources to help users understand barcode types, best practices for listing products, and common pitfalls to avoid.

Best For

Listing new products on Amazon FBA or other online marketplaces.
Selling products in brick-and-mortar retail stores.
Small businesses and startups needing product identification.
Manufacturers requiring unique product codes for inventory management.
