Can I Buy Extra Barcodes for Future Use?

  • Yes — you can purchase extra GTINs now and use them anytime in the future.
  • Buying in larger quantities allows you to take advantage of discounted price breaks.
  • GTINs from Bar Codes Talk never expire and remain valid for life.
  • You can assign unused barcode numbers later as your product line expands.

Short answer: Yes!

We recommend taking full advantage of bulk pricing. You can purchase additional barcode numbers now and use them later as you introduce new products. GTINs issued from our pre-2002 GS1-USA inventory are good for life and never expire.

Example: Buying ahead for future products

If you currently have two retail products but plan to expand your line, you can purchase a package such as “5 Bar Codes.” You would use two GTINs right away and save the remaining three for future items.
