Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
George J. Laurer invented the 12-digit UPC barcode in the USA in the early 1970s; a few years later, he designed the 13-digit EAN barcode for international use.
For applying a barcode, first one needs to convert it to an image using software, then:
- Integrate such images into packaging design and artwork
- Use pre-printed labels
- Print barcodes on site directly on the packaging
Each product is identified as a unique product as per the criteria explained above and will require separate barcode. If two items having different barcodes is combined to create a promotional pack, it is considered as a new product for barcode and thus will require a separate barcode number.
