How to apply for a bar code?

The EAN- 13 barcode is universal. Commodity bar codes generally consist of prefix code, manufacturer identification code, product item code and check bit. The prefix code is designated by ean international, and the prefix code of commodity bar code in China is 690-699; The manufacturer code is specified by the coding organization of the country or region where it is located; The product project code is assigned by the enterprise itself; Parity bits are calculated by standard algorithms.

The EAN- 13 barcode itself does not contain commodity information. The reason why the mobile phone can find the product information after scanning the barcode, such as manufacturer, specification, quantity, price, production date, anti-counterfeiting information, etc. , because it will automatically query online after scanning the barcode, and conduct "keyword query" through the commodity information database to match relevant information.

Commodity barcodes are not applied according to the quantity and demand of a single product, but in the name of the company. Only companies can apply for commodity bar codes. After application, different products of the company use different bar codes.

EAN- 13 barcode can be submitted to the branch of local article coding center for information application. For details, you can consult the local coding branch or apply for bar code online on the website of China Article Coding Center. You need to register an account first, and then fill in the required information according to the process. The general process of online bar code application is as follows.

After the successful application of EAN- 13 commodity bar code, we can generate ordinary EAN- 13 commodity bar code in batches through the bar code generator. Next, let's take a look at the generation process of product barcode.

Add an ordinary barcode to the barcode generator through the barcode tool, open the barcode properties, and change the barcode type to EAN- 13.

Modify the barcode data in EAN- 13 barcode attribute-data source, select the database to import 12 barcode data, and the barcode generator will automatically calculate and generate 13 parity bit, or import 13 barcode data with parity bit into the database. Database types supported by barcode generator: TXT, Excel, MySQL, SQL? Waiter, wait.

Print a preview to view the mass generated EAN- 13 barcode. In the barcode generator, you can also generate commodity barcodes by printer batch print, or output PDF documents for saving.
