Barcode Registration

barcodes database

Our EAN-13 and UPC barcode packages include FREE barcode registration on both the International Barcodes Database and the IBNREG (International Barcodes Network Registry). This registration allows you to associate your product and company details with the barcode number in these databases.

Note: Barcode registration is free with the purchase of EAN-13 or UPC barcodes from our company. If you already own EAN-13 or UPC barcodes (not issued by us) and wish to register them, please purchase barcode registration here.

Advantages of Barcode Registration

While barcode registration is optional, it provides several benefits:

  1. Enhanced visibility on smartphone app scanners – Barcode registration helps certain smartphone apps display your product information when the barcode is scanned.
  2. Improved online profile – Registration increases your product’s visibility online. When a customer searches for the barcode, they can easily find details about your product and company, making it more accessible to retailers and customers.
  3. Protection against theft or misuse – Registering your barcode adds a layer of protection, as it shows ownership. This can prevent others from using your barcode number improperly, particularly on platforms like Amazon.
  4. Proof of validity and legitimacy – Registration serves as proof to reluctant retailers that your barcodes are legitimate. This can streamline interactions with retailers who may be cautious about non-GS1 barcodes.

Barcode registration helps protect your barcode number from unauthorized use and enables customers and retailers to locate product and business details online.

How to Register Your Barcodes:

After purchasing barcodes from us, you will receive them by email along with registration instructions. You can then register your barcode numbers and product/company details on the International Barcodes Database. Your barcode will also be automatically registered on IBNREG.org. Although optional, registering on the International Barcodes Database further enhances your product’s online profile.

Once registered, your product details will be searchable on Google and other search engines, as well as on some smartphone apps. Note that certain barcode scanning apps primarily search within specific online stores (e.g., Amazon) and may not access broader barcode databases, limiting their available product data.
