Use the ISBN assigned to your book. In Canada, ISBNs are free from Library and Archives Canada. This tool only turns a real ISBN into a barcode. It never creates ISBNs, and it rejects numbers that fail the ISBN check.
Place the barcode on the back cover, on a white area, usually near the bottom right corner.
Shops scan these at the till. The number must come from GS1, the organisation that issues product numbers, so it is unique to your product worldwide. UPC-A is common in Canada and the US; EAN-13 is used almost everywhere.
For stock, shelves, assets, invoices and shipping, where you choose the numbers yourself. Code 128 is compact and accepts letters, numbers and symbols. Code 39 is older and wider; use it when a system asks for it.
Links, contact cards and Wi-Fi details that people scan with a phone camera. Print it at least 20 mm wide, and test it with your own phone before you print many.
The small barcode beside an ISBN holds five digits. The first is the currency and the other four are the price, so the highest price it can hold is 99.99. Choose No price set to print 90000, which lets each bookshop set its own price.
| First digit | Currency | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | Canadian dollar | 62499 = CA$24.99 |
| 5 | US dollar | 50699 = US$6.99 |
| 0 | British pound | 00799 = £7.99 |
| 3 | Australian dollar | 32995 = A$29.95 |
| 4 | New Zealand dollar | 43499 = NZ$34.99 |
| 9 | No price set | 90000 |
US books priced at $100 or more use 59999. Most other currencies have no price code, so those books use None or No price set.
Barcodes follow the GS1 EAN/UPC, ISO/IEC 15417 (Code 128), ISO/IEC 16388 (Code 39) and ISO/IEC 18004 (QR Code) specifications. Always scan a printed proof before a full print run.
