Step 2: Assign Individual Product Numbers

Upon successfully licensing your company’s own prefix, you can assign unique product numbers to each of your items. Since UPC Company Prefixes come in varying lengths, the number of product numbers that can be assigned will vary. It is very important that you assign product numbers carefully since UPC (GTINs) cannot be reused after being published. Most companies rely on Bar Code Graphics consultants to assist in assigning individual product numbers to avoid future problems.

A unique product number is required for each unique item you plan to sell. For example, let’s say you’re selling t-shirts in two different styles – orange and blue. Your blue small, medium, and large t-shirts would each have their own unique product numbers, while your orange small, medium, and large t-shirts would also have their own different unique product numbers.
