UPC Barcode Packages
You can order UPC Barcode packages on this page.
UPC barcodes should be purchased if you are predominantly selling your product in the United States or Canada. While EAN-13 barcodes are theoretically acceptable in the USA and Canada as well, retailers are more used to seeing UPC Barcodes, hence they are the better option. Like EAN-13 barcodes, these are used on all products except for books and magazines. The differences between UPC and EAN Barcodes can be seen here.
(If you want an EAN barcode, follow this link to the EAN-13 Barcode page).
If you buy a UPC Barcode package you will receive:
1. A globally unique UPC-A barcode number
2. Barcode images in 4 different formats (Jpeg, png, SVG & pdf)
3. A Guarantee Certificate – Guaranteeing you as the only legal owner of the barcode

Here are some common questions:
This means that if the retailers only use barcodes for option 1, you can get away with having the same barcode for 2 product variations (i.e., different colors of the same product); however, if the retailer uses barcodes for option 2 as well, then a different barcode will be required for each product variation.
In general, retailers prefer to stock products that will be straightforward to manage. Some retailers may prefer not to stock products if they have to manually count how many are left of each size and reorder accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that you have a different barcode for each variation.
Selling in the USA = UPC-A
Selling internationally = EAN-13
