Can You Recommend Printing Software or Equipment?

On this page:

Overview

No, we do not currently recommend any specific printing software or equipment. There are countless programs, printers, and workflows available, each suited to different business needs and production environments.

Why don't you recommend specific products?

Because printing solutions vary widely by industry, budget, label material, and production volume, selecting the right equipment depends on your own operational requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

What we specialize in

We specialize exclusively in supplying barcode numbers and printed barcode labels. This ensures you receive accurate GTINs and properly formatted barcode artwork that meets GS1 standards.

What does this mean for printing?

While we do not provide hardware or software recommendations, any equipment you choose must be able to print barcodes at 300 dpi or higher to maintain clarity and scannability.

  1. Obtain your GTIN, UPC, or EAN from a trusted source.
  2. Download your digital barcode artwork.
  3. Select printing tools that support high resolution output.
  4. Print a small test run of labels.
  5. Verify scan accuracy before full production.

UPC, EAN, and GTIN considerations

UPC, EAN, and GTIN barcodes must remain GS1 compliant, and proper printing is essential for accurate product identification in retail and Amazon fulfillment systems. Maintaining strong contrast, correct sizing, and crisp lines is the responsibility of the printing process you select.

Do Amazon compliant barcodes require special printers?

No specific printer brand is required, but your equipment must consistently produce sharp, high contrast barcodes. When printed correctly, GS1 compliant barcodes support the Works for Amazon Guarantee and ensure smooth scanning across marketplaces.

Choosing your own printing tools

Because every business has unique requirements, choosing software and hardware depends on volume, label materials, design needs, and your preferred workflow.

How should I evaluate printing options?

Look for tools capable of producing 300 dpi or higher, supporting vector formats, and maintaining exact sizing. Before fully committing, test several printed samples with different scanners to confirm that your UPC, EAN, or GTIN barcodes read consistently.
