UPC Numbers
UPC barcodes are used on individual retail products in the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and a few other countries.
UPC numbers are part of a closed system and cannot be made up. They must be obtained from the barcode standards body GS1, or from a company that's authorized to allocate existing UPC numbers - like us.
UPC Barcodes
