ISBN Barcodes for Books

If you need a barcode for a book, first you need to get an ISBN (International Standard Book Number). The ISBN number is used to make the barcode.

ISBNs are unique international numbers that are assigned to published books & similar publications. ISBNs are recorded in book directories internationally. They enable publishers, libraries & book stores to locate a specific book quickly and efficiently (for re-ordering purposes). A different ISBN is required for each different format published (eg. online books or different language editions).

If you already have an ISBN number for your book, you can purchase the barcode images for your number below.

If you don’t have an ISBN number yet, we know of 2 main options –

1. You can get a single ISBN number for £30.00 through the Independent Publishing Network.

2. Alternatively, you can get one from the ISBN Agency. This will cost you £91.00 for a single ISBN number.

Once you have your ISBN number, come back here and order the barcode for your number below. You will receive your ISBN barcode images from us by email in 5 formats straight away.

You can use these barcodes worldwide
