If you go to Barcode Express (http://www.gs1express.com.au/barcodes/) you can order your barcodes online from GS1 Australia, the only authorised place in Australia to get a GS1 Barcode number. Your application will be processed within one business day, upon receipt of payment.

GS1 is part of a global barcoding and numbering organisation that licences authorised barcode numbers for Australian businesses. Businesses can then put these barcode numbers on their products to sell them locally and overseas. To be licensed to use a GS1 Barcode number, you must become a member of GS1 Australia.

Having GS1 Barcodes ensures that each barcode number you are licensed to use is unique. No other businesses can use your barcode numbers or barcodes on their products. The major retailers in Australia require their suppliers to have GS1 Barcodes on their products.

GS1 Australia is a not-for-profit organisation created by Australian businesses for Australian business. More than 1 million businesses use GS1 Barcodes in more than 150 countries every day.
