Barcodes for Food and Beverages
Food and drink products in South Africa use EAN-13 barcodes. Our EAN-13 barcodes are suitable for use on food and drink products in South Africa as well as worldwide.
All you need to do is to buy the barcodes on our website and pay by credit card. You will receive your barcodes automatically by email as soon as we receive your payment. Each barcode is a globally unique sequence of 13 digits made into a barcode image (the vertical black bars and white spaces). No product information is in the barcodes when you receive them. Your barcodes and products will only be linked together once you give them to your retailers. The retailers enter the information into their inventory system (after that, when the barcode is scanned, the product/price information will appear on the retailer’s checkout screen).
Every different retail product requires a different barcode number (including product variations such as size or flavour). You will need two EAN-13 barcodes if you have a drink product that is being sold both as individual bottles and in cartons to be sold by the case.
You will receive EAN-13 barcodes suitable for use on all food and beverage products in South Africa and worldwide. This includes beer, spirits and wine.

FAQs about barcodes for food and drink products:
Some retailers and wholesalers require ITF-14 barcodes (GTIN-14 barcodes) to go on the pallets of food and beverage products. An ITF-14 barcode goes on the delivery boxes that contain your products – please discuss this with your retailers to find out if they require these. ITF-14 barcodes are 14 digits long and are based on the 13-digit EAN barcode that goes on the product labels. When each delivery carton enters the warehouse/storage area, the system scans them so your retailers know how many items of your product are in each box. This helps them keep track of the remaining stock in their warehouse and know when they’re running low on a particular product and need to order more. Usually, you’ll need one ITF-14 barcode for each EAN-13 barcode that you have. You can purchase an ITF-14 barcode here if you need one.
