Do I really need a Barcode for Amazon?
  It's true! Amazon.com now requires barcode numbers for the products you plan to sell on their site. If Amazon.com is also distributing your product, they also require the barcode graphic which represents your number.

Almost all items require EAN or UPC codes. Notable exceptions are books, which can have either ISBN codes or EAN/UPC codes or better yet both, as recommended by our company and acknowledged by the ISBN agency.
 
 

What types of Barcodes does Amazon accept?
  Amazon accepts EAN and UPC codes, which are the retail barcodes used on products sold inside of the USA and Canada.
 
 

Does Amazon really accept your UPC codes?
  Yes, they do!

As of June 2017, Amazon has finally implemented a campaign to (spot) check the validity of EAN numbers for product listings. They state “We verify authenticity of product EANs by checking the GS1 database.” We very much welcome this effort as it helps eliminate fake, duplicate, and hijacked UPC numbers from the Amazon system and protects you as a seller.

We have many thousands of clients selling on Amazon. 100% of the few clients who have been audited by Amazon to date have passed their audit and continue to sell there successfully. If you are one of the select few who will be audited either upon initial listing or at a later time, we stand ready with the proper documentation to assure proof of legitimacy of your EAN codes to Amazon’s auditors. Contact our office in charge of compliance with any questions.
 
 

How are Barcodes for Amazon different?
  Barcodes for Amazon are general use barcodes not different from those used on other products.

For those of you who need only EAN numbers for selling your product on Amazon but do not need the digital EAN barcode images, we offer a special 15% OFF on your EAN Numbers. Click here to go to the online order form & get 15% OFF by using the promo code NUMBERSONLY.
 
 

How do Barcodes for Amazon work?
  As you can imagine, since Amazon distributes so many items through their fulfillment centers with each item handled numerous times there is room for error. Amazon aims to increase accuracy, speed up the time needed to get your product in the hands of buyers, and streamline inventory/sales reporting by adopting barcodes across the board.

In that spirit, we aim to help you meet their EAN barcode requirement by offering new Amazon sellers EAN code advice. At the end of this page, please find a detailed compliance guideline for working with Amazon. If you need additional advice, don't hesitate to call us at +1 404 885 6066 (worldwide) or 877-UPC-2060 (from USA & Canada).

In what format are my Barcodes for Amazon?
  For your convenience, you receive your EAN barcode graphic in three different formats so that your graphic artist, printing company, or manufacturing facility can work with the graphic in their preferred software.
 
   
EPS Format - This layered, vector EPS file is the preferred format of most graphic designers due to its quality and versatility, particularly for resizing. EPS is an "exchange" format, not necessarily associated with one specific graphics program. An exchange format is one intended for multiple applications to be able to open.
TIFF Format - This layered TIFF file works well for graphic artists who need a transparent background. This format is not suitable for significant resizing.
JPEG Format - This uncompressed, high-quality JPEG file is the most common file format. All computers can open a JPEG. However, it is not suitable for resizing.

Let us help you with Amazon’s compliance guidelines...

Amazon
: A barcode is a symbol that allows an optical scanning tool to identify the product or book title.

Simply Barcodes: Amazon requires that all non-book products carry an EAN barcode (European Article Number). We are the most visited and preferred site to safely buy official and legal EAN barcodes. You can order your EAN number(s) without the barcode graphic here at a 15% off discounted rate by entering the Promo Code NUMBERSONLY.

 

Amazon
: The barcode of product type must scan to an original ISBN or EAN number. If you get a new ISBN or EAN number, you must get a new ISBN or EAN barcode.

Simply Barcodes: Amazon, in order to properly identify your products in their inventory management system, requires a different EAN barcode for each product.

Example: You produce and sell picture frames and want to offer your frames for sale on Amazon. You carry two colors dark walnut and cherry, and both frames come in three sizes including small, medium and large.

How many unique EAN codes are required?
The answer: Six

Why?

Product One: Dark Walnut Frame Small

Product Two: Dark Walnut Frame Medium

Product Three: Dark Walnut Frame Large

Product Four: Cherry Frame Small

Product Five: Cherry Frame Medium

Product Six: Cherry Frame Large
 

Amazon
: To ensure proper scanning, bar codes should be tested with a full ANSI-certified verifier.

Simply Barcodes
: We use ANSI-certified Motorola Symbol equipment to test-scan all barcode label orders. Simply Barcodes strongly recommends test-scanning any EAN code prototype produced by your manufacturing facility before going into mass production.
 

Amazon
: If you print your own EAN barcodes, be aware that defects may reduce scannability.

Simply Barcodes
: We are barcode experts.

Most local print shops have no experience with the unique requirements of barcode printing and trying to do it yourself may not produce a scannable barcode.
 

Amazon
: Bar codes should be printed with black ink on a white background, and there must be 1/4-inch of white space on the left and right sides of your bar code.

Simply Barcodes
: We know the requirements and our years of experience offer you peace of mind.


 

Amazon
: If your bar code does not scan, you will be liable for non-compliance charges.

Simply Barcodes
: Avoid this costly problem!

Our barcode labels conform to the recommended specifications of the barcode equipment manufacturers, and we test-scan to verify usability.

We also offer test-scanning of barcodes and encourage you to use this service before going into mass production.
 

Amazon
: New CDs and DVDs should always be shrink-wrapped differentiating them from used copies. Bar code must scan through any protective packaging.

Simply Barcodes
: Is your barcode’s scannability in question due to the thickness, quality or other reasons?

We offer a variety of solutions including:


1. Order high-quality, retail-ready CD or DVDs from our preferred partner Rovix, Inc.
 

Amazon
: The validity of a Product ID is checked against the GS1 GEPIR and ISBN.org databases. If your Product ID is not registered with GS1 then the linked ASIN will be suppressed and it may result in removal of your product creation privileges.


Simply Barcodes
: You will encounter this message when first listing a product on Amazon. All of our EAN Codes (Product IDs) originate from GS1 and are properly registered. You can check the “Don’t show this again” box and click “Got it.”
