Do you want to sell online?
You’ll need a product identifier
like a GTIN or EAN number from GS1 Bahrain
In a world of growing data, GS1 standards help you single out what really matters. They give you a common language to identify, capture and share supply chain data– ensuring important information is accessible, accurate and easy to understand.
If you’re planning on selling your products online, through Google or an online retailer, you’re more than likely be asked for a barcode, a product identifier, a GTIN or EAN number. It might sound a little daunting, but it’s really not. We make it simple for you; all you need to do is join GS1 Bahrain to start creating barcode numbers for your products.
The numbers you see beneath barcodes are your products’ unique identifiers – they’re called GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers). You need these numbers for selling online through marketplaces like Amazon, eBay and Google Shopping. These numbers come from us – we’re part of the global GS1 organisation that manages the barcode standards and allocates the numbers.
GS1 barcode numbers are used by the major marketplaces
Perhaps you’re only trading online at the moment, but potentially want to widen the reach of your business. GTINs, EAN numbers or barcode numbers from GS1 Bahrain ensure you can sell through any retailer – in the Bahrain or internationally. Just like the two million companies worldwide who use our numbers and barcodes already. So why not join them?
There are so many other benefits to using GS1 numbers and barcodes, such as increased efficiency throughout the supply chain, that we’re one of the number one companies people come to for help with their barcodes and identifiers. As your business takes off, these benefits will become ever more important.
