The barcodes supplied by Barcode Savers Philippines start with the 060 – 089 number range. These barcodes are GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers) of UCC/GS1 origin and are suitable for use on products in The Philippines and worldwide. The 480 series barcodes are only available legally through direct GS1 Philippines membership. 480 however does not mean “Made in The Philippines” and are not a mandatory requirement for products sold in The Philippines. Annual subscription fees are required to maintain 480 barcode numbers with GS1 Philippines which can be costly for small businesses and start ups. Our 060 – 089 barcodes do not carry any annual fees and can be used in The Philippines and globally. Note: Claims that a barcode can show the origin of a product are not true according to GS1’s own documentation. See our 480 barcodes page for further clarification.
