Frequently asked questions
Struggling to find what you need? Don't worry! Just contact our customer care team, and we'll provide you with the answers you require promptly.
Why operate a network of local barcode sites?
While barcodes are a global retail standard, the requirements for barcodes can vary between countries. The advantage of an international network of barcode suppliers is that each owner has country specific knowledge with access to our global systems.
Do you supply barcodes in my country?
We have sold barcodes to customers in 160 countries (that we know of). Our members supply barcodes directly in 109 countries (and growing). See here for a list of our member countries.
Why was the International Barcodes Network formed?
It was established to increase the availability of reseller barcodes worldwide. This is done by providing local offices where owners know their market, speak the local language, and supply reasonably priced barcode numbers in the local currency.
What barcodes are supplied by your members?
While our members supply a wide variety of retail (UPC-A & EAN-13) and non-retail barcodes (including QR codes, code 128/39, and ITF-14s), they mainly supply EAN-13 retail barcodes. These are commonly used on retail products outside the USA (except for books and magazines). Our numbers come from the same original system as GS1 but are now outside GS1’s control. Therefore, our members can sell these for a one-off cost.
Will your barcodes work worldwide and in my country?
Yes, they will. We supply both EAN-13 barcodes (worldwide) and UPC-A barcodes (USA and Canada). These are the standards used by stores around the world for retail products. These are also known as GTIN-12 and GTIN-13.
Will the barcode number I buy be unique?
We guarantee that our members supply barcode numbers that have never been used on retail products. Our numbers are unique and originated from the Uniform Code Council (now GS1 US). We provide guarantee certificates which prove you own the barcode number. We also hold a written guarantee from the company these barcodes came from that these numbers are for our resale only.
Our global websites
We operate the following global services in addition to local country websites.
The International Barcodes Database displays manufacturer and product information from GTINs issued by the International Barcodes Network. All our customers can register their products here for free.
Verified by IBN makes it easy to search and verify information about a barcode number (GTIN, UPC, EAN), company location (GLN), or company/manufacturer details.
Unlock the Power of 2D Barcodes with IBN Link. Soon, all retailers around the world will be scanning 2D Barcodes at the Point of Sale instead of UPC or EAN barcode images.
The Barcodes Customer Portal is provided exclusively for IBN customers to manage their barcode and QR code orders, registrations, and more. Features include registering barcodes and product information, downloading order files (barcode images, certificates, and documents), and managing your account details.
