Recommended Printing Size
  • EPS format for professional printing.
  • Minimum Size: 30 × 21 mm
  • Maximum Size: 74 × 51 mm
Printing Tips
  • Use ladder orientation for bottles and cans.
  • Do not print across folds or curved surfaces.
  • Leave clear white space (Quiet Zone) on both sides.
You can also print barcode labels and apply them manually to your products.

3 Print Your Packaging

Before mass production, print one sample and scan it using a barcode scanner or smartphone to confirm it reads correctly.

For supermarkets, wholesalers and exports, we recommend requesting a professional barcode verification report.

4 Supply Your Products

Once your packaging is printed, your barcode is permanently assigned to that product.

When retailers receive your products, they'll simply add the barcode number and product information into their POS or inventory system.

We do not require your product information when purchasing barcodes. You are free to assign each barcode to any product whenever you choose.
