Create a GTIN code for a product

• 4 minutes

A Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) is an identifier for trade items, developed by the international organization GS1. The GTIN number is used to look up product information in a database (often by entering the number through a barcode scanner pointed at an actual product) which may belong to a retailer, manufacturer, collector, researcher, or other entity.

The uniqueness of the identifier number is useful in establishing which product in one database corresponds to which product in another database, especially across organizations.
