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.
