Barcode Registration

international barcodes database

Did you get your EAN or UPC barcodes from our company?

  • Yes – Registration is included for free, and instructions will have been emailed to you with your order.
  • No – If your barcodes are from another source, you can purchase barcode registration here.

Our EAN-13 and UPC barcode packages come with free registration on the International Barcodes Database. This allows you to register your product and company details alongside your barcode number in an online database.

Advantages of Barcode Registration

Barcode registration is optional, but it offers several benefits:

  1. Increased visibility on smartphone apps – Registration makes your product visible on some app scanners, such as the Zebra app. When scanned, your product information appears, making it easier for customers to access details.
  2. Boosted online profile – Registering your barcode enhances your product’s internet presence. When someone searches for your barcode online, your product information appears, making it easier for retailers and customers to find you.
  3. Protection against misuse – Registration serves as proof of ownership, reducing the chance of your barcode being misused on sites like Amazon. It discourages unauthorized use and prevents the legal owner from having to pursue such cases.
  4. Proof of barcode legitimacy – Registration in an independent database can reassure retailers who may question barcode legitimacy. This saves time and prevents unnecessary frustration when dealing with retailers who rely on GS1’s database exclusively.

Registering your barcode provides extra protection against unauthorized use, and helps customers and retailers verify your product and business details.

How to Register Your Barcode

If you purchased barcodes from us, check your email for registration instructions. You can register your barcode numbers and product/company details on the International Barcodes Database. Your barcode will also be automatically registered on IBNREG.org, increasing your product’s online visibility.

Once registered, your product details will appear in online searches and on smartphone apps like the Zebra app. Note that some apps search only within online stores, so their databases may be limited, whereas apps like Zebra access a broader range of sources.
