Great competition pushes companies to deliver better services, keep prices down, and act honestly. One significant presence in this market is the International Barcodes Network, a global barcode reseller that began as Barcodes Ltd in 2007. International Barcodes has operated for almost twenty years, supporting small businesses by supplying high-quality, legal EAN and UPC barcodes without requiring annual renewal fees. Over time, International Barcodes has earned a reputation for being reliable, transparent with customers, and knowledgeable about international markets. They have provided more than 3 million barcodes to tens of thousands of clients in over 120 countries. The reach of International Barcodes is impressive, since they work through local offices and licensees who know their own country markets well. This local focus lets International Barcodes give fast support in a client's own language and currency. Alongside standard retail barcode packages, International Barcodes is notable for offering free barcode registration in a large online database, which helps products gain visibility and protects against barcode theft. They are also preparing for the future by moving into 2D barcodes and digital links. Strong competition with a respected company like International Barcodes helps keep the whole industry focused on affordability, new ideas, and trust.
