You are one step closer to getting your products on the trade market – both locally and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow the steps in the guide to create numbers and barcodes using your GS1 Company Prefix that you received by signing up as a GS1 Sweden customer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Create GTIN<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore you can create a barcode, you need unique numbers that identify each product. It’s the same number you see under a barcode and it is called a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). The number consists of: GS1 Company Prefix + Sequence number + Check digit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n As a GS1 Sweden customer, you already have a GS1 Company Prefix<\/strong>. The company prefix identifies your company and is a part of any number you create.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou decide the sequence number<\/strong> yourself. It can be from 000 to 999 if you ordered 1,000 numbers. The length of the sequence number depends on how long the company prefix is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe check digit<\/strong> is the last digit in the barcode number. It is computer generated and you can calculate it with the check digit calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Tip<\/h3>\n <\/p>\n\nWe recommend numbering the sequence number in order of sequence – 001, 002, 003 and so on.<\/li>\nMake sure to keep track of the numbers you have created and what the number identifies. You can save your numbers by registering your products using My Products<\/a> in MyGS1. There, you can also use the Generate Numbers<\/a> tool that helps you find available numbers in your number series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Choose barcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe barcode is the carrier of your data and makes it possible for your product to be scanned. The most common types of barcodes are EAN-13, GS1-128 and ITF-14. Which one you should use depends, for example, on the type of packaging and where in the supply chain the barcode is to be read. See tips to choose the right one.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nEAN-13<\/strong><\/a> is used for consumer packages that are scanned at a retail point-of-sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nGS1-128<\/strong><\/a> is used for outer packaging, pallets and also to carry application identifiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nITF-14<\/strong> <\/a>is used for outer packaging and is an extra durable barcode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSee all barcode types<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Choose the right barcode size<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe size guide summarises the size limits defined for EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF-14 and GS1-128 barcodes in the GS1 General Specifications. See the size guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. The visual barcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is usually the manufacturer who numbers and labels their packaging with barcodes. You can either produce barcode originals yourself or have someone to do it for you, such as a packaging designer, advertising agency or a printing company.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe work with partners who provide support and services in areas such as labelling and barcodes in line with GS1 standards. Find a partner who can help you<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Position the barcode correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe barcode should be positioned correctly so that it can be scanned easily. In our guide, you will learn how to place the barcode correctly for the consumer packaging, the outer packaging and the pallet. Start by looking at general guidelines on positioning the barcode correctly<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the consumer package<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the outer packaging<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the pallet<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Check the barcode quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs early as possible, you should make sure that the barcode is of sufficiently high quality and is produced according to the standards. GS1 Sweden offers the BarcodeCheck<\/a> service which helps you check the readability, content and quality of your barcode. This will let you know that the barcode can be safely scanned with a barcode scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Barcode quality<\/h3> Guidelines for good readability and

As a GS1 Sweden customer, you already have a GS1 Company Prefix<\/strong>. The company prefix identifies your company and is a part of any number you create.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou decide the sequence number<\/strong> yourself. It can be from 000 to 999 if you ordered 1,000 numbers. The length of the sequence number depends on how long the company prefix is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe check digit<\/strong> is the last digit in the barcode number. It is computer generated and you can calculate it with the check digit calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Tip<\/h3>\n <\/p>\n\nWe recommend numbering the sequence number in order of sequence – 001, 002, 003 and so on.<\/li>\nMake sure to keep track of the numbers you have created and what the number identifies. You can save your numbers by registering your products using My Products<\/a> in MyGS1. There, you can also use the Generate Numbers<\/a> tool that helps you find available numbers in your number series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Choose barcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe barcode is the carrier of your data and makes it possible for your product to be scanned. The most common types of barcodes are EAN-13, GS1-128 and ITF-14. Which one you should use depends, for example, on the type of packaging and where in the supply chain the barcode is to be read. See tips to choose the right one.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nEAN-13<\/strong><\/a> is used for consumer packages that are scanned at a retail point-of-sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nGS1-128<\/strong><\/a> is used for outer packaging, pallets and also to carry application identifiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nITF-14<\/strong> <\/a>is used for outer packaging and is an extra durable barcode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSee all barcode types<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Choose the right barcode size<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe size guide summarises the size limits defined for EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF-14 and GS1-128 barcodes in the GS1 General Specifications. See the size guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. The visual barcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is usually the manufacturer who numbers and labels their packaging with barcodes. You can either produce barcode originals yourself or have someone to do it for you, such as a packaging designer, advertising agency or a printing company.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe work with partners who provide support and services in areas such as labelling and barcodes in line with GS1 standards. Find a partner who can help you<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Position the barcode correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe barcode should be positioned correctly so that it can be scanned easily. In our guide, you will learn how to place the barcode correctly for the consumer packaging, the outer packaging and the pallet. Start by looking at general guidelines on positioning the barcode correctly<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the consumer package<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the outer packaging<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the pallet<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Check the barcode quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs early as possible, you should make sure that the barcode is of sufficiently high quality and is produced according to the standards. GS1 Sweden offers the BarcodeCheck<\/a> service which helps you check the readability, content and quality of your barcode. This will let you know that the barcode can be safely scanned with a barcode scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Barcode quality<\/h3> Guidelines for good readability and

You decide the sequence number<\/strong> yourself. It can be from 000 to 999 if you ordered 1,000 numbers. The length of the sequence number depends on how long the company prefix is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe check digit<\/strong> is the last digit in the barcode number. It is computer generated and you can calculate it with the check digit calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Tip<\/h3>\n <\/p>\n\nWe recommend numbering the sequence number in order of sequence – 001, 002, 003 and so on.<\/li>\nMake sure to keep track of the numbers you have created and what the number identifies. You can save your numbers by registering your products using My Products<\/a> in MyGS1. There, you can also use the Generate Numbers<\/a> tool that helps you find available numbers in your number series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Choose barcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe barcode is the carrier of your data and makes it possible for your product to be scanned. The most common types of barcodes are EAN-13, GS1-128 and ITF-14. Which one you should use depends, for example, on the type of packaging and where in the supply chain the barcode is to be read. See tips to choose the right one.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nEAN-13<\/strong><\/a> is used for consumer packages that are scanned at a retail point-of-sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nGS1-128<\/strong><\/a> is used for outer packaging, pallets and also to carry application identifiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nITF-14<\/strong> <\/a>is used for outer packaging and is an extra durable barcode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSee all barcode types<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Choose the right barcode size<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe size guide summarises the size limits defined for EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF-14 and GS1-128 barcodes in the GS1 General Specifications. See the size guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. The visual barcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is usually the manufacturer who numbers and labels their packaging with barcodes. You can either produce barcode originals yourself or have someone to do it for you, such as a packaging designer, advertising agency or a printing company.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe work with partners who provide support and services in areas such as labelling and barcodes in line with GS1 standards. Find a partner who can help you<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Position the barcode correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe barcode should be positioned correctly so that it can be scanned easily. In our guide, you will learn how to place the barcode correctly for the consumer packaging, the outer packaging and the pallet. Start by looking at general guidelines on positioning the barcode correctly<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the consumer package<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the outer packaging<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the pallet<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Check the barcode quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs early as possible, you should make sure that the barcode is of sufficiently high quality and is produced according to the standards. GS1 Sweden offers the BarcodeCheck<\/a> service which helps you check the readability, content and quality of your barcode. This will let you know that the barcode can be safely scanned with a barcode scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Barcode quality<\/h3> Guidelines for good readability and

The size guide summarises the size limits defined for EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF-14 and GS1-128 barcodes in the GS1 General Specifications. See the size guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. The visual barcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is usually the manufacturer who numbers and labels their packaging with barcodes. You can either produce barcode originals yourself or have someone to do it for you, such as a packaging designer, advertising agency or a printing company.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe work with partners who provide support and services in areas such as labelling and barcodes in line with GS1 standards. Find a partner who can help you<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Position the barcode correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe barcode should be positioned correctly so that it can be scanned easily. In our guide, you will learn how to place the barcode correctly for the consumer packaging, the outer packaging and the pallet. Start by looking at general guidelines on positioning the barcode correctly<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the consumer package<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the outer packaging<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Label the pallet<\/h3> <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Check the barcode quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs early as possible, you should make sure that the barcode is of sufficiently high quality and is produced according to the standards. GS1 Sweden offers the BarcodeCheck<\/a> service which helps you check the readability, content and quality of your barcode. This will let you know that the barcode can be safely scanned with a barcode scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Guide<\/span>Barcode quality<\/h3> Guidelines for good readability and
