UPC labels for US retail
For store shelves, use UPC-A with a real 12-digit code you already own, including the check digit. Pair it with the product name. For Amazon FBA unit labels you typically use FNSKU. See Amazon FBA labels on Zebra. We don't issue GS1 numbers.
Why this beats a PNG barcode generator

- Native DPI so barcodes stay scannable on 300 DPI heads
- One design, an entire catalog from Excel
- Native ZPL you can drop into a WMS queue
