Can a barcode appear multiple times on the packaging?
The manufacturer prints this barcode on the packaging. How does the manufacturer know that it isn't already in use? In principle, it shouldn't matter to the manufacturer; it's only the retailer who has problems, right?
A barcode is not awarded several times.
A barcode is composed of several factors and is like a “fingerprint”
This internally will not be forgiven several times – I assume… My question refers to the case of cases that 2 companies use the same. Unknowingly from each other.
The first digits of the barcode (also EAN) identify the country of origin and the company. You can’t just choose this. These are managed and awarded by GS1 Germany GmbH.

Not bad. Is that so in other countries?
The barcode is strictly only one number, but here there are also differences in structure…

However, it can often be awarded several times. However, not the dealers but the manufacturers would get a problem, as the dealers would slim the articles out of the assortment
The barcode is identical on each packaging. Can also look at the packaging in the shop when you compare two packaging. This is simply a unique number that characterizes the article. Prices are not stored on the barcode.
The bar code is not identical. Grade checked with the bottle of Gerolsteiner and a deo.
No, of course not because there are 2 different articles.
But if you compare 2 packs of an identical article, then the bar code is also identical.
I honestly cannot imagine why this relationship is unclear.
You insult my intelligence.
That was your question, wasn’t it?
Demand: What do you understand under product?
That’s logical, isn’t it? Why should you remember a new number for each product. 😅
A certain part of the barcode is given by the manufacturer. This part is individual from company to company. And within the company you have a program that knows the barcodes you already have from your company and thus does not create a double.
Can’t happen. The first two figures stand for the country, the next five figures are awarded to one manufacturer. This sets out the following five figures for the product. The last number is a computational test digit.
And the strips?
The strips are the numbers, only machine-readable.
Merci, again what learned
