How to Open Your Barcode ZIP File
- Most computers can open ZIP files without requiring paid software.
- Some devices may prompt you to use trialware like WinZip, but you can normally bypass paid options.
- Free, open-source tools such as 7-Zip work reliably for extracting your barcode package.
- Using a proper ZIP extractor ensures you can access your UPC, EAN, or GTIN files without issues.
Most computers can open ZIP files automatically. Some devices may have trialware such as WinZip installed, which can display prompts encouraging you to pay. You can usually select “No Thanks” and continue opening the file. If you experience difficulties accessing your barcode package, we recommend using a reliable ZIP extraction program.
What program can open a ZIP file?
For a free, open-source ZIP utility, you can use: https://www.7-zip.org/. Once installed, you should be able to open ZIP files without any issues. You may use any ZIP program you prefer; we have no affiliation with 7-Zip.
Why can’t my computer open the ZIP file?
In some cases, older systems or restricted company computers may not have a built-in unzip tool enabled. Installing a third-party extractor resolves this quickly and ensures you can access your purchased UPC, EAN, or GTIN barcode files.
Can I use other ZIP programs?
Yes. Any trusted ZIP utility—free or paid—can extract your barcode files. Simply download the program, install it, and attempt to open the ZIP again.
