GS1 Company Prefix

GS1 Company Prefix
The GS1 Company Prefix is a unique number that will identify your company as the owner of your barcode and the product it’s on. The GS1 Company Prefix is a part of every barcode you will create.

Prefixes are available in different “capacities” that allow you to barcode as few as 10 unique products and as many as 100,000 unique products. You’ll need a barcode for each product variation, such as size and color. Choose a prefix capacity that best meets the needs of your business now and in the near future.

Access our barcode estimator tool for more help.

Choose the number of items needing a barcode to the right, then select how many GS1 Company Prefixes you’d like. Once you’ve made your selections you can add this to the cart and check out.

Your initial fee is the initial cost of GS1 Membership. After that, you’ll pay an annual renewal fee to continue using your prefix and barcodes and maintain access to all member resources.
