Ordering codes

Are you a new customer? Then you can buy single article codes (up to 5). Need more codes? Please go to MyGS1 and order your article codes (regardless of whether you are an existing customer or a new customer).

How many codes do you need?

How many codes you need depends on the number of products and variants (colors, sizes) in your assortment. Suppose you trade in t-shirts. Do you only have white ones in one size? Then you need 1 code. Do you have a wider range? Then you need more codes, because every color and every size gets its own code. Check out our packages.

Coding of articles

The codes only become meaningful if you assign them to something. In MyGS1 you can fill in information about your product and then your product will be linked to that code forever.

Scan codes?

In some cases it is convenient if the code can also be scanned. Then you can translate the number into the familiar barcode. Read more about translating to a barcode symbol. Which ones are there, which color combinations, which dimensions, what do they have to comply with?

Specially for the healthcare sector

In the healthcare sector, they work with a UDI, among other things. To create a UDI, you use an EAN-13, so this is the right code.
