Barcode
verification service is offered by GS1 India with a dedicated
facility using the latest verifying equipment to meet stringent
scanning requirements of demanding overseas markets and buyers.
Using
sophisticated barcode verifiers, verification reports are
generated conforming to ISO/CEN/ANSI standards highlighting on
barcode attributes like print contrasts, magnification, light
margins, bar widths, location etc.
Using
these reports, subscribers can get to know areas of improvement in
barcode printing to ensure 100% scannability.
Subscribers
are encouraged to use this service which is available at a very
nominal fee (Rs.350/- per report) to avoid rejection of their
products/consignments by domestic/International buyers and levy of
heavy penalties for the same.
We
encourage you to avail of this service prior to final, bulk
printing of your product packaging to ensure that fully scannable
GS1 barcodes are printed which would scan in almost all
environments, in India and overseas. This in turn will ensure that
your buyers accept your barcoded products at all times without
rejection, which can prove very costly otherwise. Some of the
major retail chains in
India
have already commenced levying
penal charges for GS1 barcodes which do not scan or for products
which do not carry GS1 barcodes at all.
As
per international best practices, it is recommended that barcode
verification reports are taken by the suppliers once every three
months to enable rectification of printing errors as soon as these
occur during various print runs.
