Approve the barcode on the filled garment bag, with the intended background and final print size, before releasing custom packaging.<\/strong> A barcode that looks sharp in a PDF is not enough. For a frosted or clear clothing bag, the garment behind the film, the printed background and the bag’s shape all belong in the approval discussion.<\/p>\n

This guide focuses on linear retail barcodes such as UPC-A and EAN-13. Confirm your retailer’s or fulfilment partner’s requirements first; a warehouse label or a consumer-facing QR code may have a different purpose.<\/p>\n

Confirm the data before discussing placement<\/h2>\n

GS1 US identifies UPC-A as a 12-digit barcode and EAN-13 as a 13-digit barcode<\/strong> in its barcode-type reference<\/a>. These numbers describe the formats, not permission to create a product identifier by adding or removing a digit.<\/p>\n

Send the printer the approved symbol type, encoded number and corresponding garment variant. Use a version-controlled list linking the artwork to the intended product, colour and size. Have the person responsible for product data approve that list separately from the visual design.<\/p>\n

Give the barcode a controlled background<\/h2>\n

GS1 US printing guidance<\/a> favours black bars on a white background, including the spaces and quiet zones. It also notes that package contents become the background when packaging is clear.<\/p>\n

For a clothing-bag project, ask the supplier whether an opaque printed panel or an appropriate label is needed. Frosting should not be treated as proof that the garment colour is hidden sufficiently. Review representative light and dark garments when the same bag artwork will be used across both.<\/p>\n

Agree who supplies any label, when it is applied and how its position is controlled. If a printed white panel is proposed, include it in the artwork and sample quotation rather than assuming it is part of a basic one-colour print.<\/p>\n

Reserve space for the complete symbol<\/h2>\n

The same GS1 US guidance advises keeping the barcode’s full height and protecting the clear areas beside it, known as quiet zones. If the artwork needs a different size, regenerate it appropriately instead of stretching it to fill a space.<\/p>\n

Mark the barcode location on the supplier’s bag drawing. Ask the team to review nearby closures, seals and expected folds, then check the filled sample. This turns a general placement instruction into an approval tied to your actual construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Approval item<\/th>\nQuestion for the buyer and printer<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Product data<\/td>\nDoes the encoded number match the intended garment variant?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Background<\/td>\nIs the agreed background consistent across the intended garment colours?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Artwork size<\/td>\nIs this the final generated symbol, without distortion or cropped height?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Position<\/td>\nCan the symbol be accessed and presented in the packed configuration?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Evidence<\/td>\nWhich sample and evaluation report support approval?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Separate a scan check from barcode verification<\/h2>\n

GS1 New Zealand distinguishes scanning from verification<\/a>: a scanner reads encoded data, while verification evaluates multiple aspects of barcode quality. A successful phone scan should therefore not be described as a formal verification result.<\/p>\n

Before ordering, agree whether verification is required, who will arrange it and which application requirements govern acceptance. Ask for a report that identifies the evaluated artwork and sample. This article does not prescribe a universal passing grade or claim that HEYI performs barcode verification.<\/p>\n

GS1 also recommends assessing symbols as close as possible to their final configuration<\/a>. For your sample review, identify the bag material, background treatment, garment and packing arrangement. Record any difference between the evaluated sample and the production specification.<\/p>\n

Keep the barcode approval attached to the order<\/h2>\n
