Barcode generator: questions and answers

Can I make a barcode to sell products in shops?

You can draw a correctly formatted EAN or UPC barcode, but retailers usually require a number licensed to your company by GS1. AltFTool does not issue those numbers, so get them from GS1 first and then generate the barcode here.

Which format should I use for stock labels?

For internal labels that only your own scanners read, Code 128 is a common choice because it holds letters and numbers compactly. Use EAN-13 or UPC-A only for retail product numbers.
