Data Driver tool, which will automatically create GTINS for your U.P.C.'s, and maintain them in our database for your reference.


 

There are three parts that make up your 12-digit GTIN.

  1. Your U.P.C Company Prefix (number provided by GS1 US BarCodes and eCom)
  2. Your Item Reference (number you assign to identify your individual products)
  3. Check Digit (validates the accuracy of the number)
