Get GS1 codes for your products
Choose between individual GTIN/EAN codes and the annual GS1 licence, which also includes company identification through a GLN, depending on the number of products and your company's needs.
Why choose GS1 codes
for your products?
Codes allocated through the official network of national GS1 organisations guarantee compliance with globally recognised logistics and trade standards
Unique global identification
With a GTIN, you ensure a secure and verifiable link between your product, brand and company.
International acceptance
GS1 codes are recognised in over 150 countries and can be used on international markets without modification
Verification in the official source
Your trading partners can verify the information associated with your product and company directly in the central GS1 registry, reducing identification errors and unnecessary document exchanges
Evolution towards 2D codes
GS1 identifiers enable the transition to QR codes powered by GS1 and GS1 Digital Link, connecting the product to digital information for consumers and trading partners.
Compliance for commercialisation
GS1 codes guarantee the unique global identification required by major retail chains and marketplaces, eliminating the risk of blockages caused by non-compliant identifiers.
Scalability for growth
Obții un prefix de companie pentru identificarea produselor pe măsură ce portofoliul crește, iar licența anuală include și GLN pentru identificarea companiei.
Beware of codes purchased from unofficial sources
Resold or reused codes can cause identification, validation and listing problems in retail or marketplaces. GS1 Romania is the only organisation authorised to issue GS1 licences at national level.
