GS1 Bulgaria

GS1 is a not-for-profit organisation that develops and maintains global standards, while GS1 Bulgaria offers local resources and support for the implementation by Bulgarian companies.

Worldwide there are 118 local organisations, over 2 million user companies and 6 billion transactions every day. GS1 is best known for the barcode, named by the BBC as one of “the 50 things that made the world economy”. Implementing standards improve the efficiency, safety and visibility of supply chains across physical and digital channels in more than 25 sectors. Moreover, an important innovation for the retail sector is the transition to 2D barcodes powered by GS1 by 2027.

GS1 Bulgaria brings together over 4600 Bulgarian companies. We work with organisations of every size — from international household names to small, local businesses – issuing identifiers and providing expertise about the implementation of the standards.

Moreover, we offer different services to our members including:

• GTIN activation trough the online product catalogue BG Barcode.
• Master Data Synchronization.
• Printing of logistic label.
• Barcode verification.
• LEI registration etc.

BG Barcode allows manufacturers and brand owners to upload quality product data about their items, identified with barcodes/GTIN. Once the information is uploaded, it becomes part of a secure database, which could be shared with consumers, trade partners, retailers, online platforms, regulators and others. Main set of data is provided to GS1 Global Registry Platform (GRP).
Consumers need to receive consistent product information in order to make informed choices when shopping (online and offline), like never before. And reading the label is easier now.

Selling a product starts with a GS1 barcode/GTIN.
