DO YOU NEED A BARCODE? - 您需要條碼嗎?

If you have a product to launch to the market (stores, supermarkets, department stores, Amazon, etc.) they will ask you for this barcode:

EAN-13 OFFICIAL PREFIX 489 OF HONG KONG

香港 EAN-13 官方字首 489

It must meet the following characteristics:

1. Start with 489.

2. Have the numbering registered in your name (or in the name of your company).

3. Be backed by a certificate of ownership.

The EAN-13 product barcode

How it works

A product barcode works like a car license plate; exactly the same. When you put a barcode (universal EAN-13) on your product, you are registering it so that it can be sold worldwide, in physical stores or e-commerce sites like Amazon. You will need a code for each product or for each variant of the same product.

The country prefix

The barcode that will register your product must begin with 489 and have the numbering (13 digits) registered in your name (or in the name of your company).

What will I receive

When you obtain a barcode from Hong Kong Barcodes [489], they will send you the code in 3 graphic formats (EPS, PDF and JPEG) plus the product assignment sheet in Excel, instructions for use, purchase invoice and warranty certificate.

Validity period

It will be valid for an unlimited period of time (the entire life of the product), you will pay for it only once and you will not have to pay annual renewals or face absurd bureaucracy. It will come from the regulatory body (GS1 Hong Kong) and will be accepted worldwide. You will have unlimited technical service and technical advice for commercial labelling. You will always have our help at your disposal.

LIVE WHATSAPP

To bring a product to market, two barcodes are needed:

1. The barcode for the individual product, the EAN-13, the world-renowned one, mandatory. GET IT HERE

2. The barcode for packaging and transport, the DUN-14, mandatory in supermarkets and large stores, optional in small distribution. GET IT HERE

You can save by purchasing the EAN-13 and their corresponding DUN-14 at the same time. See the COMBO EAN-13 + DUN-14 packages here.

The barcode for packaging and transport:

DUN-14 (EAN-14, GTIN-14, GS1)

The numbering is obtained from the numbering of the product's barcode that is inside the packaging.

It is used so that the recipient does not have to open the box to find out what is inside and the number of units of the product.

ATTENTION! Small shops or small retailers do not need it. Supermarkets and large stores, ALWAYS.

Payments, shipping and validity period

100% GUARANTEED

TRANSACTION

Payment and shipping

You can pay for your order by any method (credit/debit card, or PayPal), with the payment gateways being 100% guarantors of the successful completion of the transaction.

In short: either you receive what you ordered or THEY will give you your money back.

You will receive it on the same day that we receive your order.

And you will receive a download link (by email) to access your folder on our servers that contains the barcodes and the rest of the documentation. This folder will always be available toyou in case you lose the files.

Validity period

How long does my barcode last? Will it expire? Will I have to renew it?

The barcode we send you will last as long as the product lasts on the market.

WARNING! You will not be able to reuse it and when you withdraw your product from the market the code will die with it.

But you will not have to renew it, since we take care of the annual maintenance.

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH CODES THAT START WITH THE NUMBER ZERO!

They are not official GS1, since they do not begin with the prefix of Hong Kong, 489, and they are not valid. The market will reject your product, sooner or later.
