Our company is a registered NZ company (“Barcodes Limited”) with an office in Auckland. You can view our company details on the NZ Companies Website here, or have a look at our Certificate of Incorporation.
All of our barcodes originally came from the GS1 system. Therefore we can guarantee that you will be the legal owner of your barcode numbers & that they will be unique worldwide.
We have been selling barcodes in New Zealand for many years and understand the specific barcoding requirements very well. We are an NZ company – not an overseas company pretending to be in NZ.
Part of a network of international barcode suppliers. Members focus on supplying barcodes within a specific country, so they are best able to understand the specific barcoding requirements in that country and provide prompt local-language barcoding advice and service. Members have access to resources to help ensure that their barcodes are accepted by more retailers in each country. This means that barcodes purchased from our members are accepted by more retailers internationally than any other barcode reseller. Visit International Barcodes Network here.
We can provide barcode verification reports for your barcodes, tested to internationally accepted standards. Retailers like Bunnings and certain supermarkets in New Zealand sometimes ask for this.
A GLN (Global Location Number) is a unique 13-digit number that is used as a physical location identifier for a business or a branch of a business. Some retailers (such as Tesco Ireland) require these as part of their prerequisites for stocking your products in their stores. We can supply GLN’s for a one-off cost.
We check all our barcode numbers for illegal use on the internet (e.g. on the Amazon sites) before issuing them to our customers.
We check orders to make sure you receive the codes you need when you need them.
All barcode numbers we sell have the barcode image included free. We can provide barcode images for your barcode numbers you have gotten from other companies.
We will customise the image size & resolution (up to 2540dpi) if requested.
Buy barcodes online, and our automated system sends out the barcodes automatically. The following products are automated: EAN-13 barcodes, QR codes, ITF-14 codes, ISBN codes and GLN numbers.
Other orders such as labels and custom images are processed manually, usually within a few hours (or by the following morning at the latest).
We offer excellent customer support (read some of our customer feedback).
Contact Us over the phone, through email or via online chat so our friendly customer service representatives can help you through the barcoding process.
We have branches all over the world run by local members of the International Barcodes Network, so we can provide internationally relevant information and advice if you are planning on exporting outside of New Zealand.
We are very experienced in the barcode industry, and are ready to use this experience to help you get your products into stores around New Zealand and worldwide.
We are easy to contact, and we respond quickly to all enquiries and questions.
We will give you the truth. If we can’t help you, we will let you know! Many other barcode resellers will try and omit key facts about barcode acceptance or even sell fake numbers.
We provide barcode & product registration free with our barcode packages, or as an extra paid service for Book and magazine and other barcodes if you want it. This helps customers find your products online and discourages barcode theft.
Our company is owned by a Charity (Better World Initiative), therefore when you buy barcodes from us, ALL profits go towards charitable purposes.
We have an extensive product offering so you can get everything you need to get your product onto retail shelves in one easy transaction.
