Barcode registration
Barcodes are used by retailers and manufacturers alike to track and encode product information rapidly. These are universally recognized parallel symbols that you find on products and are detectable with visual reader technologies. The supply chain employs bar codes for swifter identification. Even though it is not mandatory under the law, it is a convenient way of billing and is helpful, as you can link it to inventory software.
GS1 is the regulatory body that manages bar codes in India. It was established in 1996 by three joint ventures – the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Government of India, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry as a not-for-profit entity. It standardizes bar codes and issues codes that can get scanned anywhere in the world. Usually, the government, healthcare, beverage industry, food industry, retailers all use these globally acclaimed bar codes for trade.
Types of Barcodes
GS1 can be divided into multiple categories depending upon its utility value. Let us take a sneak peek into the major ones;
GS1 EAN/UPC Family barcode : These are the country’s most popular and widely used barcodes. You can generally find it on almost all consumer goods.
GS1 Data Bar Family barcode : These are used for scanning food products and contain information on the expiry date and batch number.
GS1 1D Barcodes : This visual recognition technology uses this bar code to track traded and shipment items. Using this barcode type, you can gather data about serial numbers, shipment status, or even dates and batch numbers.
GS1 2D Barcodes : These codes are highly versatile due to their high storage capacity. The 2D represents two-dimensional quality and comes in square, hexagonal or rectangular shapes. Along with this, the size of these barcodes is also relatively smaller than GS1 1D. It appears more straightforward when printed in small sizes. Because of this, it is used by manufacturers and hospital industries.

Stay wary of wrong perceptions- “890” does not represent official Indian barcodes!
There is an incorrect notion among the Indian masses that the initial three digits “890” in a barcode represent the fact that they originate from India. There is no such legal requisite that the starting three digits have to be 890. These first few digits do not signify the nation of origin. However, they just represent the origin of the barcode number. Hence, do not worry if you have any other digits at the inception of your barcode.
Barcodes keep your business activities intact and organized. If you are an acclaimed operator looking for ways to improve the accuracy and trustworthiness of your business, then getting barcodes can make you appear professional.
