| How are Barcodes for Magazines different? | |
| The requirements for a barcode for magazines differ slightly from the standard UPC barcoding for other retail products. The reason for this deviation is that the magazine industry requires the ability to differentiate the various issues of a given year’s magazine. You meet this requirement by use a periodical code in addition to your UPC code. | |
 |
|
| Do I really need a Barcode on my Magazine? | |
| Yes, most stores have electronic point of sale (ePOS) systems, which enable them to keep track of their sales and stocks and to reorder magazines by scanning the barcode. Most retailers refuse to accept magazines that are not barcoded. In addition, many distributors make use of barcodes in their warehouse systems. |

“Working with Simply Barcodes was simply amazing. Other companies were telling us it wouldtake 6-8 weeks to get a barcode on our monthly publication (a time frame we could not afford), but Simply Barcodes was fast, friendly and very knowledgeable. We got what we needed the same day! In the future well definitely be using their services for all future products.”
