Does every product need a GTIN/UPC and bar code?
If you are going to sell your product in retail stores that use an inventory system and a bar code price scanning system, then yes, your products need bar codes. If you are selling your product at the local swap meet and there are no price scanners around, then no, you dont need a UPC bar code. If you are selling your own products in your own store and don’t have scanning equipment, then you don’t need bar codes, but you still will want to have unique numbers to identify your products. You don’t have to have GTIN/UPC numbers for internal use.
