Barcode Allocation
When it comes to barcode allocation, it's crucial to consider various factors:
- Types of Products: Each product category requires a unique barcode to optimize inventory management and sales tracking.
- Pack Size: Barcodes must account for different pack sizes to accurately reflect product variations and pricing.
- Variety Considerations: Each product variant, whether differentiated by flavor, color or fragrance, is assigned a unique barcode to streamline inventory management and ensure accurate tracking.

Here's your simple step-by-step guide:
First step is to figure out how many barcode numbers (SKUs) you need. Each unique product, including different types, varieties, and pack sizes, requires its own barcode.
Example: If you have Chilli Powder in 50g and 100g sizes, and Black Pepper Powder in 50g and 100g sizes, you’ll need 4 barcode numbers in total. In this case, you should select Category B, which offers 10 barcode numbers.
To ensure a smooth application process, you’ll need to gather the following scanned documents. These should accompany your completed application form and the signed agreement, both of which are available for download on our website.
- Original Business Registration Certificate (Scanned Copy) to verify your business.
- Scanned copy of Billing Proof (e.g., Telephone bill or Electricity bill) to validate your business address.
- Director’s Details (Scanned Copy of Form 1 or Form 20) for administrative purposes (required only for Private Limited Companies).
- Scanned copy of the Director’s /Owner’s/Partner’s National Identity Card or Passport for identification.
- Payment Proof: Evidence of payment for the processing fees (matching your chosen category).
Once you have compiled all the necessary documents, simply submit your application via email to one of the following addresses:
Our team will swiftly process your request.
Upon approval, your barcodes will be issued within 5 working days promptly, ready to be integrated into your products.
After receiving your barcodes, you can proceed to print them on your product labels. Once printed, you are ready to supply your products to shops and markets as planned. Retailers will then register your products with the barcode numbers and update pricing information in their systems.
Within 3 weeks of receiving your barcodes, you will receive login credentials for the GS1 Activate platform. This platform allows you to upload your product details and manage your product database, ensuring your products are visible internationally on “Verified by GS1.”
