Become a company prefix customer

Why you should get a GS1 Company Prefix?

GS1 Finland membership and an active GS1 company prefix quarantees that your product can be sold on shop shelves weather you sell groceries, general merchandise or DIY goods. When your product has been marked according to standards, it cannot be mixed up with other products on the market. With the GS1 company prefix you can also identify outer cases, logistic units, locations and assets.
