THE INTERNATIONAL BARCODE NETWORK

A global network with unrivalled local knowledge and support 

Earth globe

The International Barcodes Network (IBN) is a network of barcode suppliers. We help businesses of all sizes sell their products at retail by providing affordable, verified barcodes and services for a one-off cost.

Our members focus on supplying barcodes to a specific country, so they are best able to understand the barcoding requirements in that country and provide prompt local-language barcode advice and service. IBN has supplied barcodes to customers all around the world (160+ countries).

We focus on expanding the availability of reasonably priced reseller barcodes and providing useful barcode information worldwide. Where possible, we do this by providing local offices where owners know the market and can help customers in the native language. Through this, we are helping to build a truly global barcode network with local expertise.
