Annual Personal GS1 Barcode Support
Included With GTIN.cloud Subscription
Whether you intend on selling at Amazon, Walmart, Kroger, Macys or any other retailer, UPCs/GTINs are a critical part of your product and can contribute to your company’s success or failure. Companies ultimately bear the responsibility of correctly assigning UPCs and ensuring the current global GS1 standards are followed. GTIN identification starts at the individual product and can encompass multiple package levels, as illustrated above.
GS1 Support Services
Ever since the first product needed a barcode, our consultants have assisted companies with all aspects of their creation and implementation. As the authority on barcode creation and print quality, we have directly or indirectly touched most suppliers in the major retail stores. GS1 Support Services include ongoing personal support from an assigned expert and product credit for digital barcodes or barcode testing. Access to the global UPC Product Data registry, GTIN.Cloud is included with every support subscription.
Most companies jump right in and start assigning UPCs but are not equipped to address changes and different levels of packaging. Even if someone did go through paid GS1 training, employee turnover is commonplace and GS1 standards continually evolve.

GTIN Implementation Options
Most companies utilize our GS1 services to manage/create their UPC/GTIN barcodes rather than investing time and money in learning how to correctly implement the GS1 numbering and barcode standards. Larger organizations, such as Kraft or Levis, have dedicated teams of individuals who manage GTINs and product data. Small to medium size companies either have an individual who becomes educated on GS1 standards and trading partner requirements or rely on barcode authority for guidance.
Content and Classes
GS1 standards are compressed in a 528-page document called the GS1 General Specifications. This comprehensive standard is updated yearly and available online. GS1 US does provide an array of educational classes which enable companies to learn GS1 standards themselves. Digital .eps barcode files and labels can always be purchased separately from Bar Code Graphics.
