Summarize this article in one sentence.
" The first thing you'll need to do to register a UPC code is to apply for it through GS1, which is a not-for-profit organization that works to improve global communication. One of the ways they do this is with the use of barcodes. Log onto a computer and go to the GS1 website. Click on the button that reads "Apply Now" to get started on your application. Once you've clicked on "Apply Now," you'll be prompted to answer several questions and provide personal information, such as your company name and email address. Complete all of the required fields in order to get your UPC codes. The application includes questions about your business projections. It's okay to provide your best guess in this part of the application. After filling out the application, you'll be prompted to pay the application and initial fees. These will likely be high, as the codes are authentic and original, but if you expect to need 100 UPC codes or less, the fees will be lower. You can expect to pay at least $760 USD for these fees. There are many internet-based companies, such as https://buyabarcode.com and https://www.nationwidebarcode.com/, that sell UPC codes for as low as $100 USD. This may be more affordable and fitting for those selling 1 or 2 different products on a small scale, but these codes won't include your company's Company Prefix. This means that selling your products through major retailers won't be possible.
Go to www.gs1-us.org and click "Apply Now. Fill out the application. Pay the required fees. Be wary of purchasing codes through a secondary market.
