What Is a GTIN? Understanding the Difference Between UPC and GTIN
If you're a small business owner, retailer, or start-up preparing your product for retail sale, you've likely encountered both the terms UPC and GTIN and wondered if they're the same thing. Here's a clear explanation:
🔢 UPC-A (GTIN-12)
Universal Product Code — a 12-digit barcode standard used primarily in the United States and Canada at retail point-of-sale. Every product on a US/Canadian store shelf has a UPC-A barcode. A UPC-A number is technically a GTIN-12 — a Global Trade Item Number with 12 digits. It is issued through a GS1 Company Prefix.
When to use: Selling in US/Canadian retail stores, Amazon US, Walmart, Costco, Target, grocery chains.
🌐 GTIN (Global Standard)
Global Trade Item Number — the umbrella term used by GS1 for any product identifier. A GTIN can be 8, 12, 13, or 14 digits. GTIN-12 = UPC-A. GTIN-13 = EAN-13 (international). GTIN-14 = ITF-14 (cases/cartons). When Amazon, Target, or a distributor asks for your product's "GTIN," they want your UPC-A or EAN-13 number.
When to use: International retail, European markets, multi-pack or case barcodes, and any platform that requires GS1-verified product identifiers.
