Barcode generator for shop items: EAN-13 and Code 128.
Give items without a barcode their own code, then print a sheet of labels. The codes are real and scan with any barcode gun.
EAN-13 store codes or Code 128.
EAN-13 is the 13-digit barcode on most packets in India. Every scanner reads it. Store codes here start with 200, followed by your item number and a check digit.
Code 128 can hold letters and numbers, like SHIRT-M-BLUE. Use it for your own item codes.
Store codes are for your shop only.
Codes from 200 to 299 are reserved for use inside a shop. They are perfect for loose items, local brands and your own packs. If you sell packed products to other shops or online marketplaces, get your own barcodes from GS1 India.
Labels that scan the first time.
Keep white space
Leave a few millimetres of white on both sides of the bars. Scanners need it to find the start and end.
Not too small
On a 38 × 25 mm label, bars about 10 mm tall scan well with a normal barcode gun.
Test one first
Print one label, scan it at the counter, then print the rest. Thermal printers may need calibration on a new roll.
Barcode questions
Which barcode should I use for items in my shop?
For items without a barcode, an EAN-13 store code that starts with 200 works with every scanner. For codes with letters, use Code 128.
Can I sell products with a 200 store code to other shops?

Codes saved on the item, labels at the exact roll size.
