## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. One caveat up front: several results on this query were SEO filler with seeded-looking "products" (e.g. "BarcodeLabelGen", an "ECOSIRE built-to-order barcode app from $99"). I couldn't verify those as real, established tools, so I'm not recommending them. Here's what I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd try them.

> **Start here: separate the two problems.** The barcode *number* and the *label* are different purchases. If you only sell on your own store, you can invent your own SKU/Code 128 numbers for free. If you list on Amazon or into retail, you need real GTINs from **[GS1 US](https://www.gs1us.org)** - Amazon checks your UPCs against the GS1 database and will pull listings using resold or made-up codes. Single GTINs if you have a handful of products, a company prefix past ~10. Don't buy cheap "UPCs" off eBay.
