Barcode registration involves allocating a unique identification number to a product and linking it to a barcode symbol. This allows businesses to track products across the supply chain and manage inventory, pricing, billing, and logistics efficiently.

To register a barcode, businesses must obtain a company prefix or barcode number from an authorised global body such as GS1 India. Once issued, barcode symbols can be generated and printed on product labels or packaging.
