UPC is the earliest barcode to be used on a large scale. Its characteristic is that it is a barcode with fixed length and continuity. It is currently mainly used in the United States and Canada. Due to its wide range of applications, it is also called the universal barcode. UPC codes can only be used to represent numbers, so their code set is numbers 0 to 9. There are five versions of UPC codes: A, B, C, D, and E. So how to print Amazon UPC code? What should be paid attention to when printing Amazon UPC?
UPC printing actually means spending money to buy the product barcode. UPC means unified product code.
When you sell products on the Amazon platform, you may receive emails from manufacturers, telling you that they have infringed your rights and threatening you to remove their products from the shelves. These manufacturers attempt to prevent you from selling their products, often by saying that the item you are selling is using their UPC (Product Code).
This is totally crazy, I have never heard of a company having a UPC before. Well, in that case, I'll just have to go out and buy the UPCs for my products myself. I can tell you that I have thousands of UPCs right now.
If you have your own UPC, especially if you build your own coding system, those manufacturers will not be able to complain about you using their UPC.

GS1 US is the only organization that maintains the UPC standard for use as part of the global standard for information and data exchange.
