Will the Digital Barcode Artwork Included in My Barcode Number Package Be Scannable?

On this page:

Scannability overview

Yes. The digital barcode artwork included in your barcode number package will be scannable as long as the file is printed at high quality and remains unaltered. The provided artwork is formatted to meet industry standards for GTIN based barcodes.

What makes the artwork ready for scanning?

The artwork follows GS1 specifications for UPC, EAN, and other GTIN formats. These specifications ensure accurate bar width, spacing, and quiet zones, which together produce highly reliable scan performance across retail and fulfillment environments.

Printing requirements

For best results, print the barcode artwork at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. This ensures crisp, sharp edges that scanner beams can interpret consistently.

Why is 300 dpi important?

High resolution prevents blurring or pixelation that could distort bar dimensions. Maintaining the intended structure helps preserve Amazon compliant scanning accuracy and supports smooth product identification through GS1 based systems.

  1. Open the provided barcode artwork without altering its proportions.
  2. Select a print resolution of 300 dpi or higher.
  3. Use a high contrast label surface to maximize readability.
  4. Print a small test run before committing to full production.
  5. Scan samples using multiple devices to confirm accuracy.

UPC, EAN, and GTIN compatibility

The digital artwork is designed to generate fully compliant UPC, EAN, and GTIN identifiers. When printed correctly, these codes meet GS1 guidelines and work smoothly across major retail platforms.

Is the artwork suitable for Amazon listings?

Yes. As long as your GTIN is valid and the printed barcode maintains proper clarity and size, the result is an Amazon compliant barcode. Proper printing protects your Works for Amazon Guarantee and helps avoid listing or fulfillment issues.

Testing your barcode

We always recommend running test scans before printing large quantities. Early verification ensures that your barcodes perform reliably in real world conditions.

How should I test my barcode?

Scan the printed code using several types of barcode scanners or scanning apps. Multiple successful reads confirm that your UPC, EAN, or GTIN barcode is correctly rendered and ready for production use.
