Get a UPC Code

In order for your company to print U.P.C. (Uniform Product Code) Bar Code Symbols, your company will need to become a member of the GS1 US (formerly Uniform Code Council). When you become a member, your company will be assigned an identification number for your company's use (company prefix). You will need this number to create your own U.P.C.s.

You can contact the U.C.C. at the following address, telephone number, web address or email address:
