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.
Create efficiency and coherence in your everyday life with our advantageous services. All our services are based on the identification numbers you already have through your membership if you have purchased a GTIN and/or GLN subscription.
You can choose one or multiple services and combine them to cover your particular needs. Ultimately, it's about creating value and coherence for your business - easily and conveniently.
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.
Sharing your product information using our key service GS1Trade Sync makes data easily accessible to all your trading partners throughout the supply chain. By gathering all data in one place, you only have to enter your product information once, eluding time-consuming follow-ups, and the system's inbuilt validation applications helps you share only relevant and correct data with your trading partners.
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.

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.
Over the past five years, Danish skincare company Australian Bodycare has grown by more than 50% per year. This success is largely due to a digital initiative that has today secured export breakthroughs in several markets.
The New Loop is on a roll. A vision of a new deposit system for takeaway packaging has generated so much attention that it's almost hard to keep up. The future will bring coffee cups, pizza boxes and all sorts of other takeaway packaging ready to be recycled. And barcodes will be essential on that journey.
If you don't already have a GS1 subscription, and have not ordered barcodes from us before, we recommend that you contact our trained consultants who are ready to guide you through the process.
