Amazon UPC  Barcode Labeling: Here’s How It Works

                                                                        

• The Basics of Barcodes

  There’s a lot to product labeling, but it isn’t rocket science. Essentially, here’s how it works.

  

  First, every product your company sells needs a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN).
  If you look closely at a barcode, you’ll notice a series of numbers. These numbers, which you can refer to as a GTIN, identify the specific products you sell.

  Retailers, manufacturers, and middlemen use GTIN numbers to manage inventory quickly. Each number connects a product, such as a yellow medium boy’s t-shirt, to a particular business. No other item will have the same GTIN number as this specific t-shirt.

  Why Does Amazon Care So Much About Barcodes?

  Without a barcode, workers and robots at Amazon sorting facilities would have a tough time locating items and shipping them out quickly. Product identifying tools increase the speed of handling millions of items each day.

  After all, could you imagine sorting through 100,000 yellow shirts to find the specific one you’re searching for? That would be madness!

  

  Anyhow, when it comes to GTIN numbers, there are three types. A Universal Product Code, or UPC for short, is the first kind of GTIN number. It’s a code for products you sell in the United States or Canada.

  Nerdy side note, UPCs are also referred to as GTIN-12s because each trade item identification barcode includes a 12-digit code. Simple, right?

  

  Second, you have an EAN number, which stands for European Article Number. Other than the US and Canada, most countries use EAN numbers, which also go by the name GTIN-13.

  Third, Japan has another form of EAN number, called the JAN, which includes 13 digits.

  Introducing Amazon Barcodes

  

  The second type of barcode is known as an Amazon Barcode. There are two that Amazon uses for labeling products, which include FNSKUs and GCIDs.
