Barcode Symbol Generation
GS1 Ireland offers members a barcode symbol generation service which can be accessed through our online tool Barcode Manager.
You can create the EAN 13 or ITF 14 bar code symbols you require for your products and cases using Barcode Manager. You can then download the eps, jpeg or png files for each barcode symbol generated, ready for you to add to your packaging or to print onto labels.
Symbols are available singly or in bundles of 5, 10, 20 and 30 at greatly reduced rates. Symbol generation in Barcode Manager operates on the basis of credits. One credit is required for each symbol generated. Barcode Manager will store the generated symbols for you to download as many times as you require (no credits required for repeat downloads).
