The process of barcode registration entails giving your product a special barcode that barcode scanners can scan and read. This barcode is essential for both tracking your product's transit across the supply chain and for product identification. Businesses, especially those in manufacturing, warehousing, and retail, need barcode registration since it guarantees product authenticity and expedites processes.


We at Taxhint provide an easy, hassle-free, and reasonably priced online barcode registration service. We help you get a barcode number and register it with an authorized barcode issuing company. In order to maintain the compliance of your products, we can assist with the renewal of your barcode registration.

Barcode

A barcode is an arrangement of machine-readable numbers and parallel lines with different lengths and spacing. Important product information, including product numbers, serial numbers, and batch numbers, are effectively encoded and identified.


Supermarkets, apparel retailers, shopping centers, and other businesses utilize barcodes extensively for effective product identification. Many benefits are provided by them, including decreased errors, cost-effectiveness, time savings, and easier inventory management. All participants in the supply chain—from manufacturers to logistics and wholesalers—benefit from this global identification system since it offers a simple and reliable means of product identification.

How Businesses Use Barcodes

Barcodes enable quick and accurate product identification by linking scanned codes to databases. Businesses use barcodes in multiple ways, such as:

  • Inventory Management: Barcode systems help stores and warehouses track product lifecycles from manufacturing to sales.
  • Asset Tracking: Businesses tag IT and other valuable assets with barcodes to streamline asset management.
  • Returns Tracking: Barcodes simplify the returns process in e-commerce and can be linked to invoices for easy payment tracking.

Different Types of Barcodes

Barcodes come in various types, each serving specific business needs:

  • EAN-13: A 13-digit barcode mainly used in Europe, India, and other regions for retail products.
  • UPC-A: A 12-digit barcode widely used in the US, Canada, and other English-speaking countries for retail tracking.
  • Databar Barcodes: Often used for fresh foods, these barcodes provide additional information like batch numbers and expiration dates.
  • 1D Barcodes: Barcodes such as GS1-128 and ITF-14 are used to track items in global supply chains. GS1-128 includes serial numbers, expiration dates, and more, while ITF-14 is used for packaging.
  • 2D Barcodes: These codes, like QR codes, store large amounts of data, such as URLs or product information, and are commonly used in mobile wallets and online transactions.

Businesses in India can choose the most suitable barcode type based on their operational needs and industry standards.

Barcode Registration

Assigning a product's unique identifying number and connecting it to a barcode symbol is known as barcode registration. This code makes inventory management, pricing, and other business operations easier for enterprises by enabling them to monitor the item throughout the supply chain.

A global organization like GS1 or EAN International must provide you with a unique identification number in order for you to register a barcode. These organizations provide registered identification numbers to businesses who want to use barcodes on their products and manage databases of such numbers.

After obtaining an identification number, you can use hardware or software that supports the barcode format of your choice (e.g., Code 39, EAN, UPC, etc.) to generate barcode symbols. After that, you can print the barcode on product labels or packaging, making sure that the barcode symbol corresponds to the relevant identification code in your database.

Ensuring that your product information is globally recognized and standardized by barcode registration with a global organization facilitates effective tracking and communication between various supply chain systems.

All things considered, these variables may cause notable differences in barcode registration costs in India.
