![]() If you’re a private labeler selling your own branded products through either Amazon FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon) or FBM (Fulfilled By Merchant) you’ll want an Amazon barcode for your product. If the latter happened, you're going to need to create a new listing for that item (the same thing you would have to do if you're a private label seller). What happens if you search for that number and nothing comes up? Well, one of two things has happened: either you entered the number wrong or no one before you has entered that item into Amazon's catalog. Once we searched for the UPC of this product, 044600316925, Amazon found the “Product Detail Page” already in their system. Once there, search for that number (044600316925) and the product should come up in Amazon's catalog, like below. Once you know the GTIN/UPC of a product, you can simply enter it into Amazon and start selling that product (assuming someone before you has filled in the information about that product on Amazon) With this number in hand, you can head over to Amazon Seller Central and select “Add a Product”. In this case, the GTIN (also referred to as a UPC) is 044600316925. If that’s the case, and the product you plan to sell isn’t already listed on Amazon, use the long string of numbers on its barcode (its GTIN) to set up your listing.

So you can skip to the next section, “WHAT ABOUT AMAZON BARCODES?” (lucky you). If you’re a private label seller buying products and branding them with your own brand, the answer to that is YES, you are the manufacturer of your product. To answer that question, answer this question… Are You the Manufacturer of Your Product? All you need to do is ask the question: Does my product already have a manufacturer barcode? You don’t need to know what these mean (trust me on this, I now do and my life has in no way improved). Most standard products in the United States use UPCs. The most common type of GTIN you're going to see (and the one you've probably heard before) is called a UPC.

The answer is that each unique product (or variation) needs its own barcode.Īs long as all 500 super widgets are exactly the same product, they all use the same barcode on their packaging. Do all 500 of them need their own unique barcode? Or do all 500 of them use the same barcode?” “I’m having 500 super widgets manufactured.
