    New Guy has Questions

    My first question is this:

    How on earth do I register/buy a Barcode (UPC)???

    I have searched all over for this and can't find a clear cut answer. I see a lot of sites that look like scams as well. I am selling a product that I created, and I want it to be sold in stores. So how do I go about this?

    Getting a barcode is very easy and takes about 5 mins and can cost as low as $100

    Be careful if you intend on selling your product to larger retails chains.

    Lots of barcode companies buy large amounts of barcodes and then resell them to you for around $100 no yearly payments, the thing is they will always be the actual owner of the barcode (kind of like leasing it.) Now there are no problems with doing this unless you want your product in stores like Wal-Mart ect, they require you to be the actual owner of the barcode and instead of costing around $100 from memory it cost around $300 and there are yearly subscriptions.

    Good luck with it

    Below are two examples the first one resell and the second ones are teh only place that u can buy from so your the owner. There both for Aus but im sure you can find the governing body for your country.

    Registered Australian Retail Barcodes

    Buy a Barcode – Get your Barcode at GS1 Australia




    If you require more then one barcode I would join with , GS1.
    What industry is your product in??
