GS1 Barcodes

GS1 barcodes are standardized codes used globally to identify products and track their movement through supply chains. Each barcode contains a unique number that corresponds to specific product information, like the manufacturer and item details. When scanned at checkout or warehousing, these barcodes streamline inventory management and help ensure accurate pricing and stock control. The most common type is the UPC (Universal Product Code), found on many retail items. GS1 barcodes enhance efficiency and reduce errors in both retail and logistics, making them essential for businesses and consumers alike.
