About Buy Barcodes UK
Who we are
Buy Barcodes UK is the UK arm of the International Barcodes Network, founded in 2006, working directly in over 120 countries and serving customers in more than 160 worldwide. We’re a small team, trading as International Barcodes Ltd, and we’ve been supplying barcodes since 2009.
We supply retail barcodes, carton barcodes and QR codes to UK businesses: a one-off price, no annual fees, and the numbers are yours permanently.
The Buy Barcodes UK team
Andrea Smith — Customer Advisor
Andrea handles most of what happens after you order: emails, orders, registrations, bulk quotes and custom requests. If you’ve dealt with us, you’ve probably dealt with Andrea.
Amelia Allis — Customer Advisor
Amelia handles customer questions, so between her and Andrea, someone is usually available to pick things up.
David Allis — Owner and Manager
David runs the business and still answers customer emails himself, often late at night and early in the morning, which is why replies sometimes arrive at odd hours.
When you email Buy Barcodes UK, one of us reads it, and one of us replies. No one’s routed to a call centre, and no one’s reading from a script.
Our office is in Auckland. That’s unusual for a UK supplier, so it’s worth explaining why it works.
Barcode numbers aren’t country-specific. A number issued to a UK business is the same number wherever it’s issued, and retailers scanning it don’t know or care where it was bought. What matters is that the number is unique, legitimate and registered to you. The International Barcodes Network supplies barcodes across borders, and Buy Barcodes UK is its UK service.
The practical upside is timing. We’re working while the UK sleeps, so an email sent at the end of your day usually has a reply waiting when you start the next one. Orders paid by card or PayPal are delivered automatically within minutes, whatever the hour.
What we believe about barcodes
Most of our customers are buying a barcode for the first time, and the industry doesn’t make that easy. We’d rather explain than upsell. If you don’t need something, we’ll say so. If your product needs something we don’t sell, we’ll point you to whoever does.
That’s why there’s a free guide on this site, why every barcode comes with both UPC-A and EAN-13 versions rather than forcing you to choose, and why registration in the International Barcodes Database is included rather than charged for.
Buying a large or unusual order? Email us, and we’ll quote you directly.
