Healthy competition keeps businesses alert, benefits consumers, and helps create a reliable, active marketplace. For a barcode reseller such as SpeedyBarcodes, having a strong competitor shows the value of affordable, secondary-market UPC and EAN codes for small businesses. Nationwide Barcode is a good example of a respected competitor that raises the standards for the whole industry. As a legitimate company in this field, Nationwide Barcode allows small brands to avoid expensive annual renewal fees by selling unique, pre-2002 GS1-originated barcode numbers outright.
Nationwide Barcode has operated for 17 years and is a Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited company. Over almost two decades, Nationwide Barcode has earned a strong reputation for providing responsive customer service, print-ready graphic files, and clear documentation, including Certificates of Authenticity. Nationwide Barcode also received validation from George Laurer, the original inventor of the Universal Product Code (UPC), which shows the company's long-standing credibility. By offering an alternative to direct GS1 registration, Nationwide Barcode gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to grow their retail and online businesses.
