How to get a barcode for my company?

As entrepreneurs, often you are surprised that upon taking your product to retail, you need a barcode in order for it to be sold and accounted for. The mistake may seem obvious, but it can leave you asking a question to which the solution may seem daunting: “How do I get barcodes for my company?” With SA Barcodes, the process is easy and efficient.Once you’ve completed your end-product, you need to register a barcode number in order for your product to be sold in stores. Of course, each product variation (size, colour, flavour, etc.) will need a unique barcode. Upon contacting SA Barcodes, our helpful staff will be happy to explain how many barcodes you need, as well as which type of barcode you will need for your product i.e. UPC or EAN barcodes for retail products, ISSN barcodes for newspapers and magazines, ISBN barcodes for books, or even QR codes, case codes and many more.

After SA Barcodes has assisted you with registering barcodes for your products, the barcode number belongs to your company for life and no one is allowed to register that number without your permission. SA Barcodes offers its services by generating barcode images for you and then sending them to you via email, and if you so need, we can also print your barcode labels for your products. These products can then be sold at any retail store in the world, provided that the store accepts the particular barcode system you have used. Tip: it’s always beneficial to check with your intended retailer before purchasing your barcode.

SA Barcodes charges a once-off fee and you don’t need to pay annual fees to renew your barcode – as mentioned, it’s yours for life. As soon as your barcode is registered and printed onto your packaging, your product is ready to be taken to retail where the store will enter your barcode numbers into their system. It’s really that simple to buy barcodes.
