Barcodes for NZ

" Wow, Less than 1 hour to provide a bar-code! It is a record! Thank you very much and see you next... Barcode "  Dario

Do you need a barcode number? Welcome to Barcodes Limited NZ. You've found the best place in New Zealand to purchase inexpensive, 100% legal barcodes.

We have barcodes available from as little as $39 each. Our barcodes can be used on any product including CD albums, magazines, books, postcards, food & drink products, toys, shoes & clothes.

“How do I get a barcode?” - A couple of years ago, one of our other NZ businesses was asking that question. We had a great new product which we were introducing to the market. Some of the retailers we were approaching required a barcode on our product. This started our long investigation into how to easily obtain a barcode for a small number of different products.

We also found that other NZ manufacturers were asking the same question … and having the same problems finding a suitable answer. 

"You need to join a large barcodes organisation" was the common reply. "Then pay the $$$$ to join, and the $$$$ to buy a large batch of barcodes.”  But we only want one barcode! “Sorry, you can only buy a large batch of barcodes - you can't buy barcodes in small quantities.”  

AND “Sorry, but you will need to pay a $$$$ annual membership fee every year while you are using the barcode.”  But what if we’re only selling a few products each year? “You still have to pay the annual $$$$ fee.”

AND “When you pay your $$$$ for this large batch of barcode numbers, you will only get the numbers – if you want the artwork (of course we do!), you will need to find someone else to supply it, or purchase the software that will allow you to generate the code.” 

Hmmm ... When you’ve spent all your time, energy & money producing your great new product, the difficulty obtaining a barcode can become the last straw

So, Barcodes Limited (NZ) was formed – not to make heaps of $$$$ - but to help small NZ businesses and Kiwi Entrepreneurs get a barcode or two or three or ten easily and cheaply.  We are here to help you, at an affordable price.

" Thank you very much for all the trouble you went through. Really appreciates all the work from you. Hope to deal with you again in future contents."  Nick L

15 reasons to get your barcodes from us:

1 - AFFORDABLE - The cost for a single barcode number is only $49. Or as little as $39 for 10 or more barcode numbers. This is a one-off charge. There are NO joining fees or setup fees. And there are no membership fees or annual charges. You own the number for life, and there are no further charges for it.

2  - LOCAL - We are based in NZ (Devonport), so we have good local knowledge of the use of barcodes in NZ. We also listen to feedback from our customers, so we have up-to-date knowledge of how well our barcodes are accepted in NZ. This gives us the confidence to promote our barcode sales here - our barcodes are well accepted throughout NZ and worldwide.

3  - LEGAL - Our barcodes are completely legal EAN-13 format codes. They originate from GS1-US (previously know as the Uniform Code Council - UCC). You become the legal owner of any barcodes you purchase from us - you are not just paying a license fee for the right to use them.

4  - INTERNATIONAL - We can supply barcodes to companies located in New Zealand, or anywhere else in the world. EAN-13 and other barcode numbers are designed to be used anywhere in the world.

5  - UNIQUE - Your barcode number is unique - no one else in the world will be legally using it on a retail product (or any other product). We purchase our numbers in bulk from a US company that guarantees they won't sell duplicates of their numbers. As we resell these numbers, we guarantee that we won't sell duplicate numbers - we are careful to ensure we only sell each number once.

6  - LIFE-LONG - You own your barcode number completely, and it is yours for life (& we hope you live long). If you stop making your current products, you can recycle your barcode by reusing it on a new product (just make sure you let the retailers know, so they don't get confused). If you don't need the barcode number any more, you can give it to a friend for Christmas.

7  - VERIFICATION - Some retailers in NZ & Australia require barcode verification reports for all products going in to their stores. These reports are a test scan showing how well the barcode scans, or doesn't scan. We can provide these verification reports for you, if they are needed. We are the ONLY barcode reseller (as far as we know) in NZ & Australia who can provide these verification reports for you - this increases the range of retail stores your product can be accepted in.

8  - RETAIL FORMAT - The barcode numbers we supply are standard EAN-13 format barcode, as used on the majority of retail products worldwide. (We can also supply the US style UPC-A barcode if you really want it). Our EAN-13 format barcodes can be used on virtually all retail products, except for some pharmaceuticals.

9  - REAL - We are real people in a real office (small & cosy) run by a real NZ company, owned by a real charity which helps other real people who really need it. We run a few businesses from our office, and are here ridiculously long hours - feel free to call and talk with us ph (9) 445-1296 or email us if you have any questions (or can't be bothered reading all the words on this website).

10 - IMAGES - We can supply you with the images for EAN-13 or UPC format barcode numbers, and most other numbers too. We create the actual barcode graphic image for you (sometimes called the 'artwork' - although most artists wonder why). We can also provide you with a Guarantee Certificate if required. (We always supply an invoice which clearly shows the barcode numbers you have purchased).

11 - MORE IMAGES – We can create the barcode images for you if you already have a EAN, UPC, ISBN, ISSN or other barcode number.

13 - AND MORE IMAGES – We can create ITF-14 and TUN carton codes for you, and also a variety of other barcode formats, if you need them.

14 - HAPPY CUSTOMERS - We have hundreds of happy customers in NZ, Australia and throughout the world. They sleep well at night, and are living happily ever after - we are sure our barcode numbers have helped. Have a look at our customer feedback page to see some of the many positive comments we receive.

15 - CHARITABLE - This business is 100% owned by a NZ Charitable Trust - so all profits are used for charitable purposes. (So by buying your barcodes here, you are helping yourself and helping other people - a win-win situation).
