Barcode Verification

Verification is a technical test of a barcode on the label or product packaging.

Some retailers require barcode verification for all products they stock. This is to ensure the barcodes scan well hence there are no delays at the checkout. Verification is not usually required by retailers in Ireland or the U.K. It is more common in the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

If you need a verification test for your barcode, please order it below. Then post a sample of your barcode to us on its label or packaging. Our delivery address is on our Contact Page.

Our verification tests are done using the highest quality verification technology to internationally accepted barcode specifications.

After your barcode has been verified, we will email the verification report to you. A ‘Pass’ grade is A, B, C, or D, and a ‘Fail’ grade is E or F.  Verification usually takes 3 days after we receive your barcode.
