Legal Ownership

Are We a Barcode Reseller?

Understanding the legal history of barcode issuance is vital for your business. We provide legally owned, globally unique barcodes with a 100% verified origin.


The 2002 Legal Settlement

In 2002, a major class-action settlement reached with the UCC (now GS1-US) confirmed that companies who purchased prefixes prior to August 2002 own their numbers outright. As a legitimate reseller, we source our numbers from these original owners, allowing us to provide you with unique barcodes without annual renewal fees.

Legally Verified

All numbers sold by Barcode1 India are part of the original UCC (GS1-US) database. When you buy from us, you receive a Certificate of Authenticity proving your perpetual ownership of that specific 13-digit EAN or 12-digit UPC number.

No Hidden Costs

Direct GS1 membership requires expensive setup fees and mandatory annual "subscription" costs. As a reseller of pre-2002 numbers, we pass the savings to you—charging only a one-time fee for life.

Not all barcode resellers are legitimate

Be careful when purchasing from a barcode reseller however, because, while the majority sell barcodes that they are legally entitled to sell, some companies attempt to make a quick money by selling barcodes that they are not entitled to sell. This is illegal and means you cannot use the barcodes the sell. While the upfront cost of getting barcodes from places like these may be cheaper, it often turns out to be much more expensive when you have to reprint your product packaging with a legal barcode. Legitimate reseller barcodes can be purchase here. We have 19 years experience in the industry, and can prove that our numbers are legitimate..
