Magazine Barcodes

Most (if not all) newsstands and large retailers require a barcode for magazine that uses the bipad system. This code is what their computers use to look up the price, record sales, inventory, etc. for a magazine. They will not accept the title without one.

There are two steps required for getting your code:

1. You must first get bipad number.
2. Then you can get a bar code created that represents that number.

Magazine Title & Issue Coding is handled by the firm:
