Barcodes are your products’ identity in the retail world: modern trade, pharmacies and e-commerce platforms scan and match them against the global GS1 database. Cheap unofficial barcodes fail those checks and get listings blocked.
Krishna TaxNova registers your company with GS1 India, allocates numbers across your product range and delivers ready to print barcode artwork, so your products list smoothly everywhere.
What is Barcode Registration?
GS1 is the global authority whose company prefixes generate EAN-13 numbers recognised worldwide. Registration allocates a prefix based on how many product variants (SKUs) you need, with subscriptions renewable annually or in blocks. Each variant, size, flavour, pack, gets its own number, verifiable by any retailer or marketplace against the GS1 registry.
Who Should Apply for Barcode Registration?
- FMCG, food and consumer product manufacturers
- Sellers listing on Amazon, Flipkart and quick commerce
- Exporters whose buyers require GS1 compliant codes
- Private label brands entering modern trade
