A barcode is a machine-readable symbol that encodes a unique GS1 identifier, such as a GTIN, so products can be recognised instantly anywhere in the world. Scanning it links each item to its data across the supply chain, which gives businesses one global language of trade.

Why Are GS1 Barcodes Needed?
Unique GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) identifiers are required to ensure accurate product identification on eCommerce platforms (e.g. Amazon, eBay, Google) and in physical retail outlets. These codes not only help to manage automated retail systems, but also facilitate the product’s journey through the supply chain by providing important information to customers and partners.
How Do You Get a New Barcode?
1. Become a GS1 Lithuania user
Evaluate how many codes you might need and select the most suitable GS1 service plan. Complete the registration form for new GS1 users. Once we receive your application, we will email you the contract documents. After the contract is signed, you will get a GS1 user area account where you can access our services. If you need to label logistics units with SSCC codes, you can use the GS1 Print tool to generate the labels.
2. Get Your GS1 User Zone Account and Barcodes
In the user area, you will be able to generate unique product codes, submit and receive information about your products, and view or download registered data. Product codes are provided on a service basis; this means that an open-ended agreement is signed with GS1 Lithuania, and the codes may be used for as long as the agreement remains in effect.
3. Start Selling
Your designer and print partner can convert your unique product codes into the corresponding barcodes. For small and medium-sized enterprises, we recommend trying the GS1 Print solution for printing your own labels. GS1 Print is also suitable for labeling logistics units.
