Barcode Registration is the process of obtaining unique product identification codes from GS1 India, the official body authorized to issue barcodes in India. These barcodes are machine-readable codes that uniquely identify products and are essential for retail sales, e-commerce listings, inventory management, and supply chain operations.
GS1 India is a standards organization and the Indian affiliate of GS1 Global, which manages the worldwide barcode standards. GS1 India issues company prefixes that enable businesses to create unique product identifiers called GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers), commonly represented as EAN-13 barcodes in India.
Barcodes have become mandatory for selling products on major e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and BigBasket, as well as in modern retail chains like Reliance Retail, DMart, Big Bazaar, and More. Without valid GS1 barcodes, products cannot be listed or sold through these channels.
At IncorpX, we provide comprehensive Barcode Registration services covering GS1 India membership, company prefix allocation, GTIN generation, and barcode image creation. Our team ensures quick registration within 3-5 working days, making your products ready for retail and e-commerce.
What is a Barcode and GTIN?
A Barcode is a visual representation of data that can be read by optical scanners. It consists of parallel lines (1D barcode) or patterns (2D barcode) that encode information about the product. When scanned at retail stores or warehouses, it instantly retrieves product details from the database.
GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is the number encoded in the barcode. It is a globally unique identifier for products. In India, the most common format is EAN-13, which is a 13-digit number. The first digits represent the country (890 for India) and company prefix, followed by the product code and a check digit.
The Company Prefix is allocated by GS1 India and is unique to your business. Using this prefix, you can create unique GTINs for all your products. The length of the company prefix determines how many products you can code - shorter prefixes allow more products.
Components of a Barcode:
Country Code:
890 indicates the barcode is issued in India through GS1 India.
Company Prefix:
Unique identifier assigned to your company by GS1 India.
Product Code:
Number you assign to identify each specific product variant.
Check Digit:
Calculated digit that verifies the barcode's accuracy when scanned.

FAQs on Barcode Registration
Understanding Barcode Registration is essential for businesses looking to sell through retail and e-commerce channels. We've compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Whether you're a startup or an established brand, these FAQs cover everything you need to know about GS1 India barcodes.
A GS1 barcode is a globally standardized product identification code issued by GS1, the international standards organization. In India, GS1 India issues these barcodes. The barcode contains a unique GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) that identifies your product worldwide and can be scanned at retail stores and warehouses.
Amazon and Flipkart require GS1 certified barcodes for product listing to ensure product authenticity and unique identification. These platforms verify barcodes with GS1 database. Third-party or self-generated barcodes are not accepted and may lead to listing suspension.
EAN-13 is a 13-digit barcode used internationally including India. UPC-A is a 12-digit barcode primarily used in USA and Canada. Both are GS1 standards and are often interchangeable in global systems. For Indian products, EAN-13 is standard.
You need one unique barcode per product variant. This means each different size, color, flavor, or pack size needs its own barcode. For example, a T-shirt in 3 colors and 4 sizes needs 12 barcodes (3×4). Plan for future products when choosing your package.
A Company Prefix is a unique number assigned to your business by GS1 India. It forms the first part of all your product barcodes. Shorter prefixes allow more products (more digits for product code), while longer prefixes are for businesses with fewer products.
Barcode registration typically takes 3-5 working days from document submission. This includes GS1 India processing, company prefix allocation, and GTIN generation. Rush processing may be available for urgent requirements.
GS1 India membership and barcodes are valid for 1 year initially. Annual renewal is required to maintain active status. If not renewed, the barcodes become inactive and may be reassigned after a grace period.
No, GS1 barcodes are non-transferable. They are issued to a specific legal entity and cannot be sold or transferred. If you acquire another company's products, new barcodes must be obtained under your company prefix.
Beware of cheap barcodes online. Many are resold or unauthorized barcodes that don't appear in the GS1 database. Amazon, Flipkart, and retailers verify barcodes with GS1. Invalid barcodes will result in listing rejection or removal.
You receive barcode images in multiple formats: EPS (vector), JPEG, and PNG. EPS is recommended for printing on product packaging as it scales without losing quality. We provide various sizes suitable for different packaging requirements.
No, one GS1 barcode works everywhere. The same GTIN/barcode can be used on Amazon, Flipkart, retail stores, and exports. It's a universal identifier that works across all sales channels globally.
GS1 India generally requires GST registration for business verification. However, certain categories may be eligible without GST. Contact us to understand options for your specific situation.
GTIN is the number, while barcode is the visual representation. GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is the 13-digit unique identifier. The barcode is the scannable image that encodes this number. Both refer to the same product identification.
Yes, you can add more barcodes as your product range grows. If you need more GTINs than your current prefix allows, you can purchase additional capacity or a new prefix. We help manage your barcode inventory.
If not renewed, your barcodes become inactive in the GS1 database. This can cause issues at retail checkout and e-commerce listings. After a grace period, the prefix may be released. It's important to renew on time.
Trademark is not mandatory for GS1 barcode registration. However, for Amazon Brand Registry and enhanced brand protection, trademark registration is recommended. Barcode and trademark serve different purposes.
No, each pack size needs a unique barcode. A 100g pack and 250g pack of the same product must have different barcodes. This is essential for accurate inventory management and pricing at retail.
Barcodes should be printed following GS1 specifications for size, color, and placement. Use the EPS file for printing to ensure quality. Minimum size is 80% magnification for EAN-13. Black bars on white background is recommended for best scan rates.
Barcode verification is testing the print quality of barcodes to ensure they scan correctly. GS1 India offers verification services. Poorly printed barcodes may not scan at checkout, causing issues for retailers and customers.
You can verify barcodes on the GS1 Global GEPIR database (gepir.gs1.org) or GS1 India's verification tool. Enter the GTIN to see if it's registered and to which company. This helps verify authenticity.
