Before you can deliver – or sometimes even offer – your product to retailers and wholesalers, you need a GS1 product identifier for your product and a barcode on its packaging.
When you get your products into the store or wholesaler's assortment, you need to inform your trading partner of all the necessary information. GS1 Synkka makes it efficient and easy to share product information, images and documents.
All GS1 identifiers and barcodes are generated using the GS1 Company Prefix.
