Barcodes for Magazines
Most magazines and other periodical publications use ISSN numbers (which are turned into barcodes). There is no local ISSN Agency in South Africa – therefore, to get an ISSN for your publication, you will need to contact the ISSN International Centre.
After you have your ISSN, please come back here to purchase the barcode images for your number:
These images can be used worldwide

ISSN Barcode Images
Select either a standard ISSN (for all issues) or an ISSN with a two-digit issue number (01 to 99) from the drop-down options below.

Enter your 8-digit ISSN number(s) here in the format xxxx-xxxx OR as 977xxxxxxxxxx if you know the full number you want.
Examples: 1234-5670 or 9771234567003
With Issue Number (each edition has a different two-digit supplement from 01 to 99)
Enter your ISSN number(s) in the format xxxx-xxxx-yy where xxxx-xxxx is the ISSN and yy is the 2-digit supplement (01-52 for weekly, 01-12 for monthly).
Example: 1234-5678-01

How to use your ISSN barcode:
After we receive your order, we will use your ISSN to make your EAN-13 barcode images. You will receive an email containing your barcode images in 3 formats (pdf, png and svg).
NOTE: Let us know if you want your barcode to have a supplement number at the end (EAN-13+2 format), like in the example below, to represent the issue number of the magazine (this is optional):
- Magazine Barcode (with two supplement numbers) (jpg format)
- Magazine Barcode (with two supplement numbers) (eps format)
