In common parlance, many people know the GTIN as a barcode, but technically the GTIN is the number below the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

Standardised digital solutions for large and small businesses that increase
the quality and efficiency of your work processes.
A Global Location Number (GLN) makes it possible to uniquely identify physical, functional, or legal entities. This could for instance be a sender, a recipient, or a buyer. This allows you to quickly and efficiently identify the who and where in your business processes. A GLN is unique and can be used across national borders and industries.
It is the owner of a GLN who is responsible for informing e.g. a trading partner about the GLNs used and the information associated with each GLN. This could for instance be a phone number, an address, a fax, or and e-mail.
A Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is a global ID for your trade items, making it possible for a company in any country to identify which items they are selling in their store. It is used by companies, researchers and retailers to look up product information about the individual product.
Product data can for instance be shared using GS1Trade Sync, where suppliers can enter all their product information. Because a GTIN is a standard, it is a number that can be used anywhere in the world and function as a key when a product has to change hands.
This service requires a GS1Trade Sync subscription. Send your products to us and we compare the physical products with the product data you have entered in GS1Trade Sync preventing errors on labels and in logistics.
All validated products receive a data quality validation stamp in GS1Trade Sync, which will be visible for your customers.
We offer marketing and planogram images at an affordable price and ensure that your images are compliant with the industry's requirements for dimensions and quality. The images will be uploaded directly to GS1Trade Sync, from where they can automatically be linked and used on webshops, leaflets and planogram systems. In addition to standard product imaging, we also offer a variety of styled images.
Calculate your check digit or generate your own barcodes. You can also search by GLN, GTIN, or other GS1 Keys, and get access to contact information of the companys to which those keys belong.
Medical devices can suffer from production errors, but in recent years barcodes have made it easier to track defects. With GS1 standards and technology, it is now possible to ensure traceability for everything from medicines to implants. The latter was at the center of an international scandal in 2010. It could have been nipped in the bud if barcodes had been as widespread as they are today
About an hour and a half's drive from Copenhagen, in an industrial district in the small town of Åstorp, the cries of seagulls mingle with the sound of powerful engines as the many trucks in front of the 64,000 sqm Frode Laursen warehouse, with ton-heavy trailers, zigzag between each other like ants in an anthill.
If food waste were a country, only China and the US would emit more CO2. In Norway, supermarket chain Meny has saved 18 percent of food waste costs on fresh meat by using smart barcodes.
If you don't yet have a GS1 subscription and haven't ordered barcodes before, we recommend that you contact our trained advisors who are ready to guide you through the process.
