How to get a Universal Barcode on Your Products | Grow Your Candle and Product Based Business
Ever wondered how businesses manage their products so efficiently? In today's video, we reveal the secret ingredient to scaling your business: UPC-A Barcodes! Join us as we explore the vital role barcodes play in successful inventory management, order processing, and seamless retail transactions.
Barcodes are a powerful tool for any product-based enterprise, especially in the fast-paced ecommerce sector. From keeping track of candle inventories to speeding up the checkout process, barcodes are the unsung heroes of organization and sales.
The UPC-A Barcode, featuring 12 digits, is the most recognized barcode in the U.S. market, and isreadable by nearly every barcode scanner out there. If your business thrives on accuracy and efficiency, understanding barcodes is non-negotiable.
You may also hear the term GTIN in the barcode conversation. It is simply a globally unique number that is used to identify your specific product or service. The UPC is the actual barcode symbol with the black lines and the GTIN is the identification number.
Tune into our deep-dive session for a step-by-step guide on implementing these barcodes in your processes and watch your business grow.

Yes we do! We keep it simple and make it FC (fontana candle) plus the last 5 digits of the barcode.
I’ve been looking for an inventory management platform. Do you have one that you’d suggest? Or do you use Inventora or Craftybase?

Hi there. We actually do not use fragrance. We make all of our essential oil blends in house. We are up to sharing so much about our business, but our vendors are the one key aspect that we keep proprietary. We hope you understand!
