Two types of bar code<\/b><\/h4>\n

Barcodes, the so-called barcodes you see everywhere.
\nFor more than 40 years, this has been the way par excellence to quickly identify products by scanning the code.
\nTo barcode your products, there are two possibilities.
\nAs <\/span>product owner<\/b> or seller on <\/span>bol.com<\/b> and <\/span>Amazon,<\/b> your products need a unique identification number.
\nFor this purpose a <\/span>Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) <\/b>or <\/span>European Article Number (EAN)<\/b> required, which you can find at <\/span>GS1<\/b> can request.
\nA barcode is also required for goods delivered to ShopWeDo, but it does not necessarily have to be a GTIN.
\nIn this case, you can create your own barcodes online with a code-128 generator or by using a barcode font. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is GS1? \"\"<\/b><\/h4>\n

Online, you can find a lot of resellers offering GTIN\/EAN codes at interesting prices.
\nThis is because these companies purchase barcodes in bulk.
\nWe recommend choosing the official codes that comply with the <\/span>GS1 standards<\/b>.
\nGS1 is namelijk de enige instelling die wereldwijd erkend is als uitgiftepunt van deze identificatienummers. <\/span><\/p>\n

The organization is working on a database that will allow companies to share information with each other.
\nIn this way, they want to achieve global standardization.
\nBy using GS1 codes, you speak a uniform language with all your trading partners and your products are <\/span>globally traceable and identifiable<\/b>.
\nDe <\/span>registered <\/b>GTIN<\/b>\/EAN codes<\/b> from GS1 actually contain information about the product and the company.
\nWhen you purchase unregistered GTIN\/EAN codes through third parties, these codes are not in your name.
\nYour products are then linked with the name of the reseller from whom you purchased the codes <\/span><\/p>\n

GTIN, how do you get started? <\/b><\/h4>\n

GS1 Belgium & Luxembourg is part of the global GS1 organization which now operates in more than 100 countries.
\nOn the website, several <\/span>code packages<\/b> offered that allow you to request barcodes yourself.
\nWhich package is best for your business depends on what you want to identify, the size of your assortment and the number of variants per product. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a company, you must first <\/span>register <\/b> at GS1 by creating an account online.
\nThen you will receive a unique <\/span>company number<\/b> assigned.
\nSpecific <\/span>sequence numbers <\/b>and a <\/span>control number <\/b> added.
\nIn this way, the number combination can be linked to a particular product.
\nThe article code is then translated into a <\/span>barcode with dashes<\/b> so it is readable by a scanner. <\/span>In your account you can create a new product in the <\/span>product manager<\/b>.
