Get your magazine or newspaper on newsstands with scannable ISSN barcode images.
You focus on the editorial content, and we will handle the barcode. If you publish a magazine, newspaper, or periodical, we provide the globally standardized GS1-format barcode images required by retailers to scan and track your printed publication.
Important: Do you have your ISSN number yet?
We generate high-resolution barcode images based on your publication's 8-digit ISSN number. We cannot create your barcode if you do not have an ISSN assigned to your publication yet. Click here to get an ISSN number first. Then come back to us to make the barcode.
Tailored formats for your publishing schedule:
-
Standard 13-Digit Format: The most common layout. We convert your 8-digit ISSN into a 13-digit EAN barcode by adding the industry-standard '977' prefix and your specific price code.
-
13+2 Supplement Format: Ideal for tracking individual issues. We add a 2-digit supplement to the end of your barcode (for example, 01 to 12 for monthly magazines, or 01 to 52 for weeklies).
-
Designer-Ready Files: Your images are emailed instantly in PNG, SVG, and PDF formats so your graphic designer can drop them straight onto the cover.
-
Reusable Asset: You can reuse your main 13-digit barcode for every issue. You only need to order a new main barcode if your publication's cover price changes.

Please provide your 8-digit ISSN number at checkout. If you require the 13+2 supplement format to track your issue numbers, simply specify your preferred supplement digits in the additional information box.
