    The need to manage products correctly, enabling easy access for consumers, made the industry create a code to identify trade items, goods, or services, making their recognition unique.

    This code can be scanned by machines and found by systems, facilitating operations.

    To use this standard, there are some rules to be followed. In this post, you will learn more about what GTIN is, its importance for the fashion industry, and a few tips to apply in your company.

    Read on!

    What is GTIN? 

    GTIN is popularly known as a barcode. The acronym means Global Trade Item Number, and it is a global standard used to uniquely identify any items ordered, priced, or invoiced within a supply chain.  

    It was created and administered by GS1, the organization that centralizes code generation worldwide, but each country has its own local office. 

    In physical retail, the GTIN is used to identify products; in digital, it is for distinguishing products from each other.

    The numbers that appear just below the barcode can come in four different formats: 8, 12, 13, or 14 digits. But most GTIN data fields have 14 digits.

    What are the types of GTIN used in the apparel industry? 

    There are different types of GTIN and they are meant for situations that best fit your company.

    Some details, such as the type of product, the location where the code will be, and logistical data, can influence the choice of the ideal code.

    It is common for the product code to appear on the packaging; but, in the case of the apparel industry, it works differently. When it comes to clothing and accessories, the GTIN is usually on the product itself, attached to its tag.

    For this reason, you need to figure out which option is the best for your company.
    Check out the main types below:

    • EAN/UPC: used on most consumer goods sold at point of sale (POS);
    • GS1-128: allows encoding of various information and definitions, in addition to being widely used for logistic tracking;
    • ITF-14: a specific 14-digit code for identifying trade items at various packaging levels (in shipping boxes, for example).

    The Industry 4.0 era brings evolution but also increases data usage. This makes it a trend for the coming years to replace the barcode with the QR Code.

    What is the difference between GTIN, EAN and SKU?

    The picture shows two young women checking out some clothes and there's a barcode overlay representing the GTIN

    The most common form in the world is the GTIN-13 – also known as EAN or EAN-13, an acronym applied formerly in Europe. That is purely a name change and does not affect any function of the barcodes.

    The difference between GTIN and EAN is just the nomenclature in each continent, but the SKU is something different.

    SKU means Stock Keeping Unit, which is a string of alphanumeric characters used to identify items and help with inventory management.

    This combination is attached to a specific product that, thanks to this code, can be easily found.

    The SKU is quite usual in physical stores, marketplaces, e-commerce platforms, and other companies that want to organize their stock.

    The main difference between GTIN, EAN, and SKU is that the first two will always have a numeric sequence. On the other hand, the SKU can contain numbers and letters.

    In addition, GTIN and EAN must be read and tracked by the barcode reader. The SKU is used for the internal organization of the stores.

    How to know the GTIN of a textile product? 

    In order to avoid errors or misunderstandings, the GTIN constitution goes like this:

    It starts with the GS1 prefix of the Company, which is assigned to the business when it joins GS1. After that comes the Item Reference, linked to the responsible for the product in the enterprise. And finally, we have the Verified Digit.

    There are some basic elements that characterize an item that belongs to the textile industry. For example:

    • Product type;
    • Brand name;
    • Material;
    • Piece size;
    • Color and/or print;
    • Presentation method.

    How to generate the GTIN code of the products you manufacture? 

    To generate the GTIN of your company products, you must have a GS1 registration. GS1 is the only authorized provider of GTINs in the world.

    When registering, you will have access to some benefits and will be able to generate new and unique barcodes for your products, besides managing your data and other GS1 identification numbers.

    After that, you’re all set and can start selling your items globally!

    What are the benefits of the GTIN? 

    If you want to sell your products online, know that the GTIN is very important for your business and good performance.

    When selling a product online different markets and retailers use the same GTIN, allowing them to compete equally.

    The GTIN aims to help entrepreneurs organize their products and enable easy access to them.

    See the improvements this code can bring to your business:

    • Inventory control;
    • Receiving automation;
    • Order conference;
    • Sending invoice;
    • Unique code for product control;
    • Sustainability;
    • Traceability.
