Questions and answers
Which barcode type should I use?
Code 128 for stock, shipping and internal labels (letters and numbers). EAN-13 (or UPC-A in the US) for products sold in stores. ITF-14 for shipping cartons.
Can I make a barcode to sell my product in stores?
You can draw it here, but the number itself must be yours: retailers require a GS1-issued number (GS1 US, for example). Made-up EAN numbers can clash with other products.
What is the check digit?
The last digit of EAN and UPC codes, calculated from the others so scanners can catch typos. Type 12 digits for EAN-13 and the 13th is added.
Will the barcode scan when printed?
Yes, if printed sharp and not too small. Keep a white margin around it and print at 100% size; SVG stays sharp at any size.
Can I generate many barcodes at once?
Yes. Paste one code per line under “Many codes at once” and make a printable sheet of labels.
