Buying barcodes & barcode packs
Choose a barcode pack for your products, understand what your purchase includes, and check the requirements that matter before you buy.
Buying UPC barcodes
What is a barcode pack?
A barcode pack is a set of unique barcode numbers purchased together. Each number identifies a distinct product or variation; the pack is not a set of duplicate labels for one product. Choose your pack by the number of different products you sell, not the number of units you manufacture.
How do I choose the right barcode pack?
Count every product and every variation that needs a separate identifier, then compare the available package quantities on BuyABarcode.com. Include products you plan to launch soon. Use the current package list for prices and quantities rather than an older email or search result.
Do I need one barcode for every item I make?
No. Identical units of the same product and variation use the same barcode. Different products, sizes, colors, flavors, or retail pack counts need distinct identifiers. For example, a shirt offered in three sizes and two colors needs six barcodes, not a new barcode for every shirt manufactured.
Can I buy barcodes without annual renewal fees?
Yes. BuyABarcode packages are a one-time purchase with no annual barcode renewal fees. Compare the complete package total and included services before choosing; direct GS1 licensing has different options and terms.
Barcode files, ownership & delivery
What comes with a BuyABarcode order?
Orders include UPC barcode files, signed barcode ownership documents, GS1 Data Hub registration, QR codes, case codes, and print-ready sticker templates. BuyABarcode offers a 90-day money-back guarantee.
How do I receive my barcodes?
After your payment is completed, your assigned barcodes and downloadable files are available in your customer account. You also receive an order confirmation email.
Which barcode file formats are included?
BuyABarcode packages include downloadable UPC barcode files in JPEG, PNG, PDF, and SVG formats. Use a print-ready file or sticker template for packaging and confirm the size and print quality with your printer before a production run.
Does a barcode generator give me a barcode number I own?
No. A barcode generator creates an image from a number; it does not assign ownership of that number or establish that it is unique. Obtain an assigned product identifier before generating a barcode image for retail packaging.
Can I create QR codes and case codes after buying a pack?
Yes. BuyABarcode packages include QR code and case-code tools, plus print-ready sticker templates. A QR code can link to product information; it is not the same thing as a UPC product identifier. Case codes identify packaging levels rather than replacing the barcode on the individual retail product.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
BuyABarcode offers a 90-day money-back guarantee. Read the refund policy for the terms and contact the team if you need help with an order or a retailer listing issue.
GS1, Amazon & retailer requirements
Is BuyABarcode the same company as GS1?
No. BuyABarcode is an independent barcode seller, not GS1. Buying a barcode from BuyABarcode is different from licensing a GTIN or company prefix directly from GS1. If your retailer requires a GS1 license in your own company’s name, check that requirement before buying.
Can I use the barcodes on Amazon or Walmart?
Retailer requirements depend on your product, brand, and selling program. BuyABarcode provides signed ownership and affiliation documents for listing cases and live support. Confirm the current rules with your retailer before purchasing; a barcode purchase does not enroll a brand in Amazon Brand Registry.
Is a signed ownership letter the same as a GS1 license in my company name?
No. Signed barcode ownership and affiliation documents describe your connection to the barcode. They are not a GS1 license issued in your company's name. If your selling program requires your own GS1 license or company prefix, confirm that requirement directly before buying a reseller barcode pack.
Should I buy UPC or EAN barcodes?
UPC-A has 12 digits and EAN-13 has 13 digits. BuyABarcode's public packages are offered as UPC barcodes. Some retailers request EAN-13, so check the required format with the retailer before purchasing or printing your packaging.
Is an Amazon FNSKU the same as a UPC?
No. A UPC identifies the retail product; an FNSKU is an Amazon fulfillment identifier. Follow the barcode and labeling requirements for your specific Amazon listing and fulfillment method. An FNSKU label does not establish ownership of a UPC.
