The Official GS1 Barcode Workflow

To sell products in major global retailers (like Amazon, Carrefour, or Target), your barcodes must be officially registered. We do not sell barcode numbers; we provide the enterprise software to generate and print them at scale.

1

License Your Prefix

First, purchase an official Company Prefix directly from the non-profit GS1 registry. This unique prefix legally connects your brand to the global retail database.

Where We Come In

Input & Sequence

Enter your official GS1 prefix into our Sequence Tool. Tell us how many product variations you have (e.g., 1 to 500), and our software will instantly build the numerical sequence.

Our engine applies strict GS1 modulo-10 mathematics to calculate your final check digits, formats the high-resolution bars, and exports a perfectly sized PDF roll for your thermal printers.

What is an EAN-13 Barcode Generator?

EAN-13 (European Article Number) is the globally recognized 13-digit standard used for tracking retail products worldwide. Whether you are selling on Amazon, Carrefour, Noon, or local grocery stores, finding a reliable EAN-13 barcode generator that can handle massive datasets is crucial. That is why we built the ultimate EAN-13 mass barcode generator directly in your browser. We handle the strict digit rules and auto-calculate the final 13th check digit for you.

How to Generate Barcodes from Excel

Instead of typing out SKUs one by one, our Excel barcode generator allows you to map entire inventory lists instantly. Our tool reads .xlsx and .csv files natively. By pulling data directly from your spreadsheets, you eliminate human error and ensure that every product title and quantity matches your master database exactly.

Print Barcode PDF Rolls Instantly

Amazon sellers and retail suppliers face strict label requirements. Using our platform, you can generate compliant barcode labels and export them as a perfectly sized continuous PDF roll (e.g., 50x30mm). This print barcode PDF format allows you to print directly to high-speed thermal printers like Rollo or Zebra without wasting time adjusting margins in Microsoft Word.
