What is a GTIN Number? The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is the family of data structures (bar code formats) that are most commonly used internationally. If youâre in the market to buy bar codes for your items, youâll likely want to purchase a type of GTIN number.
To identify products, youâll need a GTIN. A Global Trade Item NumberÂ® (GTIN) is the number you see underneath the U.P.C. barcode symbolâand itâs the same number thatâs encoded in the lines and spaces that the scanner reads. GTINs uniquely identify products at all item and package levels.
