Table matching product code, packaging, GTIN, barcode and file name

What does barcode work include?

01

Tracking the application

We track the status of every step, from the product list to number matching.

Barcode registration: completed steps and application summary
02

Print-ready files

We prepare separate vector PDF and EPS files for each barcode number and name each file after its number.

Barcode outputs with product name, pack size and file name
03

Correct placement on the packaging

We preserve the clear space around the barcode and check placement against folds, cuts and curves.

Numbers, sizes and files are matched in one table.

Print size

Example magnification factors and overall dimensions for EAN-13. Measurements are in millimetres. We choose the right size based on printing and scanning conditions.

Number and check digit

The bars are calculated from the number. The last digit is the check digit.

More about this service

We start barcode work by reviewing your product list and any existing GS1 information. We handle application preparation, number matching and print files as separate steps.

GTIN and barcode

A GTIN identifies a product. A barcode represents the number in a form a scanner can read. Creating artwork does not allocate a number. We match numbers you are authorised to use to the correct products.

Application and product list

We prepare company details and documents according to GS1 Türkiye guidance. We gather product names, variants, pack sizes and codes in one shared list. We assess changes that need new numbers against the GTIN Management Standard.

Printing and placement

We set the barcode's size, the clear space around it and its contrast to suit the conditions of use. We check trimming, folds and surface curvature on the packaging. Alongside on-screen checks, we plan with the manufacturer to verify a physical print sample.

File delivery

We deliver the required outputs, such as vector PDF and EPS files, with a product matching table. When a product is new or its packaging changes, we reassess whether new numbers are needed.

We can plan barcode placement together with packaging design, and online product records together with e-commerce website design.

We’d like to thank Abdullah for his attentiveness and professional approach. We had our own ideas in mind for our corporate logo. With Abdullah’s creative work, it evolved into something completely different. As a company, we were very pleased. I’ll definitely be calling him for future projects.

Frequently asked questions

Is creating barcode artwork the same as obtaining a number?

No. The artwork is a scannable representation of the number. Using GS1 requires a properly allocated number that is matched to the product. We check your existing numbers first.

Do we need a new application if we already have GS1 membership?

Not always. We review your existing membership, number capacity and product list, and work out what's needed in line with GS1 guidance.

Does a product change require a new barcode?

It depends on the change. We assess changes to product type, contents or pack size against GTIN rules. We keep a table showing which number belongs to which product.

Can we make the barcode as small as we want?

No. The barcode type, printing method and scanning environment determine the right size. We allow room for the barcode and the clear space around it, and we don't distort its proportions to make it fit the design.

Is a phone scan enough to check print quality?

A phone scan is a basic test. We plan physical sample checks and appropriate verification with the producer to assess material and print quality.

Does barcode preparation include a stock system?

No. A barcode carries the product identifier. Managing stock, sales and warehouse movements requires separate software. If you need these connections, we plan them separately.
