Barcode Verification

Verification is an official test scan of a barcode after being printed onto the label (or product packaging). Some retailers require barcode verification for all products entering their stores. However, verification is not usually required by retailers in South Africa (it is more commonly required by retailers in the USA, Australia & New Zealand).

If you need verification for your barcode, please order it below & then post a sample of your barcode to us (on its label or packaging). Our delivery address is on our Contact Page. Our verification tests are done to internationally recognized standards, using the highest quality verification technology. After your barcode has been verified, we will email the verification report to you. A ‘Pass’ grade is A, B, C, or D, and a ‘Fail’ grade is E or F. Verification usually takes three days (after we receive your barcode).
