How to make a barcode
- Choose the type. Code 128 works for most labels, stock numbers and shipping.
- Type the value. For EAN-13 type the 12 digits; the check digit is added for you.
- Download PNG or SVG and print at full size.
Which type do I need?
- EAN-13: products sold in shops in Pakistan and most of the world.
- UPC-A: products for the USA and Canada.
- Code 128 or Code 39: your own stock, asset tags and invoices.
- ITF-14: shipping cartons.
Can I invent an EAN number?
For your own use, yes. To sell in supermarkets you need numbers registered to your company by GS1 Pakistan.
