Buy Official UPC Bar Codes for your Retail Products

Every retail product sold in the United States & Canada, except books and pharmaceuticals, must have a UPC Code. While GS1 manages all of these code assignments, buying from them is expensive and requires a yearly fee. Elfring Fonts, Inc. offers official UPC codes at a much lower cost and there are no yearly fees, no setup fees, and no registration fees.

When you buy a UPC bar code from us, you own that number forever! If you buy your UPC code from GS1, you are simply renting that number. You must pay them yearly fees or they revoke your numbers!

Every UPC bar code assignment purchased from Elfring Fonts, Inc. comes with a pdf certificate of authenticity. It guarantees your UPC code is unique, that you own that code, and that it has legally been assigned to you!

The only companies that can legally sell UPC codes are: GS1 (formerly known as the Uniform Code Council) and those firms that were part of the class action lawsuit against The Uniform Code Council in 2002. No one else is or can be an authorized reseller of UPC codes.

What do your get when you purchase? When you purchase a UPC code from us, you will receive your unique UPC code, a certificate of authenticity for that code, an invoice for your purchase, and a free copy of our ebook, "The Truth About UPC Bar Codes"
