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.
GS1Trade Activate provides the digital overview of all your GTINs and GLNs. This makes it easier for you to keep track of your numbers and frees you from manual update processes. The service is free if you already subscribe to GTIN.
GS1Trade Activate is a useful tool for all businesses, regardless of size. The service is free of charge for our members who have GTIN and GLN subscriptions.

GTIN: With GS1Trade Activate, you can see your company's prefixes and keep track of how many GTINs you've used and what they're used for. You can also keep track of whether GTINs are still active.
When you need a new GTIN, GS1Trade Activate automatically generates the next available GTIN for you according to the GS1 standard. To each registered GTIN, you can also quickly generate and download EAN-13 and ITF-14 barcodes.
For GTIN, it is also worth mentioning that GS1Trade Activate is connected to the GS1 Registry Platform and supports Verified by GS1, which you can read more about here.
You can also keep track of your GLNs with GS1Trade Activate and create am overview of what your GLNs are used for. You can also register whether your GLNs are active or not.
