GS1 Canada’s industry knowledge has been developed over more than 25 years of industry partnership and collaboration, and as a neutral, not-for-profit association, we are committed to supporting the growth of Canadian businesses.

A GS1 Canada subscription helps you get it right from the start by ensuring your products have licensed GS1 barcode numbers, also known as Global Trade Item Numbers or GTINs. GS1 GTINs and barcodes are required by many Canadian retailers, foodservice distributors, ecommerce websites and marketplaces to do business because they ensure that your products are authenticated through unique product identification numbers that are recognized globally. Barcode numbers purchased from other sources could be duplicated or fraudulent and may not be linked to your product or business.
