#THEN each individual item needs to be organized & priced.

[princehendir]

I wanna make a longer post about how much like... how much labor there is taking place in the used clothing market that most people don't think/care about. But I have to sleep.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Raven pls help a fellow out🙏 Do you know any website that sells cheap but good enough twst merch? I can't find any decent ones that aren't just pins:(

Wow, Mr. Fellow Honest himself is coming to me asking for help?/j

I don't normally give this kind of advice, but I figured I might as well since it's the holiday season and maybe people are looking for Twst merch to gift to themselves or to others. I included pros and cons along with each suggestion. Whether you decide to look into that particular method or not is up to you!

(Note that most of the time these are second-hand options, which will usually be cheaper than buying directly from Twst and/or collaborating companies at retail price.)

Book-Off

Pros: (generally) cheaper than other locations that import anime and manga goods, easy to find pins/badges and plushies here Cons: because the items are often unsold merch... quality may vary (check item before you buy), may not be able to find merch of your desired character, physical store locations are not organized by series so you'll probably have to spend a long time digging for what you want

Mercari

Pros: more variety of merch avaliable (including rarer stuff), can haggle the price and speak with individual sellers to negotiate or bundle goods Cons: may need to pay for delivery + other additional fees, price of item may be more expensive depending on the rarity, some items may not be brand new (check listing description; it will generally indicate the condition), item may be shipping from other countries so DOUBLE CHECK where it is shipping from before committing to the purchase or you'll be slapped with an expensive shipping fee to pay

Suruga-ya

Pros: excellent variety of merch, merch is often listed in yen so the price tends to be cheap, shipping is relatively fast (it doesn't take like A Month to get to you), quality is generally good Cons: shipping can be very expensive (unless you catch the site during a period in which they offer free shipping and/or do a group order to split the shipping costs with others)

fan artists!!

(Totally biased opinion, I recommend them the most 🥰)

Pros: you get to have a more unique piece of merch that's made from another fan's passion and love for Twst, you support a small independent creator

Cons: may not be financially feasible in some cases (for example, fanmade plushies may be more expensive than the mass produced official nuis are), fan artists are limited in the types of merch they can create if they don't have the means for bigger projects (like apparel, bags, etc.), you have to do your own research on who sells Twst fan merch (there is no centralized list or platform where all Twst fan merch sellers congregate)

Hope this helps, and best of luck with the merch hunt~

mass pinglists (& moral superiority for not using them)

There's been concern lately over the newest update announcement that at some point, far into the future or at least after New Year's 2024, mass-pinging as a concept will be retired from Flight Rising. On one hand, there's people worried about this.

There's people who are also, frankly, being wildly vitriolic about those who rely on mass pinglists, disbelieving that anybody could ever be affected by mass ping tools shutting down. They're also out here openly calling skinmakers/G1 collectors/dominance organizers delusional for thinking the things they do are in any way, shape, or form, an important part of the site.

Which like, if people don't use user-run tools like GASP or the G1 pinglist, that's fine! That's your playstyle. But I don't understand where the attitude is coming from that the concerned groups are only a 'loud minority', and that they somehow don't contribute massively to the game as a whole. (The same people, by the way, who call G1 collectors & UMA makers a plague upon dragon society for being an elitist rich boy's club, then turn around and say they're not at all a driving force in the site's economy.) Which one is it? You can't have it both ways. Do these people spend thousands whaling for their perfect XXY G1 wildclaws then hundreds buying gem genes for their fancy showoff dragons? Or are they at best a negligible population in the game, whose activity and monetary contributions to the site are far outweighed by the tens of thousands of 'nice, normal, sane' players who log on once a week to hatch a nest and post on forums once in a blue moon?

There's 825 pages of user-made skins on the site right now. At 50 items per database page, that's 41,250 skins. 41,250 skins that had to be submitted with blueprints that can only be bought with gems.

Let's give these numbers the benefit of the doubt and say each skin was only submitted once, using a 10-print blueprint at 5000 gems, and each accent was only submitted once as well, using a 10-print blueprint at 2500 gems. That's 136,875,000 gems sunk into blueprints - if each individual usermade skin on site has only an average of ten copies on site. (Which is categorically not true, I've had multiple skins print over 300 copies. And I am just one person, and far from the most successful skinmaker on site.)

This is 1,368,750 USD in skin blueprints alone, by the way, using the most barebones and least generous numbers possible. We're not accounting for skins that sell more than one run, or the fact that no skin artist sells their skins to the public at print price (you can add another 30-40% to that number if you want to estimate how much money is actually spent to circulate those skins). Even if none of these artists pay money to buy gems, these gems are coming from somewhere. Even if you, as someone who doesn't care for G1s or never even heard of GASP, never set foot into these places, these gems are still circulating and being sunk into the site. And it helps no one to scoff and say you doubt there's no real impact on anything if all of this goes away.

There's 51k items on the site, and over 80% of them are skins. There's 5k users actively signed up and using GASP - more than the average amount of users logged onto the site at any given point that's not a new breed release or anniversary update.

Are you getting the picture yet? It's not self-absorbed to say that the UMA market has a very real impact on the game economy. It's just numbers.

I need to get my thoughts out about the new mass-ping update somewhere. My thoughts on the actual tool are entirely positive, it's a great change for the site and not one I ever thought I'd see. But there's people worried about the future of tools like the GASP & G1 sales pinglists for very good reason.

I think game economy is a very real concern if you're a dominance participant, a skinmaker, an old dragon collector, a G1 hatcher, an ID hunter, or anyone else whose community relies on mass ping lists. You aren't wrong for feeling this way. I'm sorry people are dismissing very valid concerns about the state of your community out of some misguided 'i don't do this and neither do my friends, so everyone who does must be a loud overexaggerating nitwit' attitude.

[breelandwalker]

I'd like your opinion on something if you don't mind.

A previous mentor who I was very close to (and has since passed away) taught me that I shouldn't sell my magic but give it freely. I've realized since then that it's really each individual's choice whether or not to do so, but I can't seem to shake the skeevy feelings when I think of selling my own work, even though the money would definitely help. That said, I am less sure that it's from that previous line of thinking and more to do with the fact that I have never been a sales person.

How does one start selling their magical wares and protect against burnout (from putting too much energy into what they make and sell), and how do you keep from someone using the energy you put into it to turn it against you?

This is a very good question and a good example of how it can be a difficult process to grow out of our first set of lessons. It's true what they say about first impressions - they're hard to get past, and it takes some doing to reset your thinking to adjust to new information. So it's good that you're already doing that reconsideration. Be patient with yourself and keep at it!

As for selling one's work, there's another old adage that holds true here - If you're good at something, never do it for free. Lots of witches make some kind of income from their craft, whether it's tips from readings or teaching workshops or selling physical wares. There's nothing wrong with it, but some witches do frown on the practice out of personal preference or a tradition-based perspective.

(Personally, I think the idea smacks of classism and elitism, since disenfranchised and economically-disadvantaged people have traded in charms and divination and other magical practices as a source of income for centuries and many continue to do so, but I digress....)

As for selling your wares, I'd suggest approaching things from a practical angle. Start small, decide what you want to sell, price your components, pay yourself for the time it takes to make things, and research similar items to get an idea of a fair price range. Don't go overboard with your first set of equipment or component purchases - it already takes a long time to make the money back, so don't put yourself into a huge hole right off the bat. (I made that mistake years ago with candlemaking.)

There are lots of options for selling wares online that don't require you to be a salesperson, but you will need to keep good records, stay organized, and do your own marketing. Be realistic about what you can handle as far as production, engagement, and shipping entail. I recommend selling from stock as opposed to doing custom orders. This naturally depends on what you're selling, but it's easier to sell from a pre-made stock of items than to get buried in orders you have to find time and energy to make after the fact.

Look into sites like Shopify and Squarespace and the like for your platform. Make sure you create accounts on several payment sites so your customers have lots of options. Take good clear photos of your wares that show them in the best light and give a good idea of color and size.

If you feel up to it, you can also look into live markets in your area. I've had a lot of success with witch markets, flea markets, and craft fairs, even though they require a fair investment of time and energy. If you decide to do this, keep an eye toward presentation, remember that visibility is key, and practice your pitch ahead of time so you can just spit it out like a recording instead of overthinking what you're saying.

As for the energy issue, it helps to pace yourself when you're making things. Don't try and do it all at once or you'll burn yourself out and it will become a chore. Starting small and not overcommitting definitely helps. If you're going to put a particular magical effect into an item, use small amounts of energy and intention and let the components do the heavy lifting.

For example, I make little bottle charms for various purposes. When I make them, I focus on a general good-will blessing for the pieces, allowing the herbs and crystals to retain their potential energy for future use. Whoever purchases the charm can then put their own energy into it for the designated purpose.

Think of it like using an eyedropper versus a bucket. You don't need to douse everything to make it work. Put just a drop or so of intention and potential into each item and let it brew. The person who buys it can take on the responsibility of fully charging the item when they're ready to use it.

I honestly don't worry about people using the energy in my wares against me. That's not really how that works. Energy can have a signature, but it doesn't work the same as a taglock. It's not like I'm handing over a lock of hair.

Also, I don't think most witches make a habit of buying things from people just to try and harm them through magic. Tiktok makes everyone paranoid with these claims of rampant baneful magic that can be aimed through pictures of workings or screen names or what have you. People simply don't have that much time on their hands and even if they did, they'd have a helluva time directly the magic effectively without a clear target.

In any case, if you're worried, a simple set of protective wards should take care of things. Include a reflective layer that turns away incoming magical harm or unwanted spells and you should be fine.

If you have any specific questions or would like recommendations for suppliers, let me know. Hope this helps and best of luck with your business!

eCommerce SEO Strategies: Boosting Visibility and Ranking in Search Engines

Inside the digital realm, the possession of a meticulously optimised electronic commerce website is of paramount importance in order to achieve triumph. In the highly competitive landscape of online commerce, the implementation of efficient Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) methods is imperative in order to enhance visibility and improve rankings within search engine results. Boost your online sales with Nivida Web Solutions - one of the most trusted eCommerce development companies in Vadodara!

This blog post aims to examine a selection of potent eCommerce search engine optimisation (SEO) tactics that can effectively differentiate your online store, enhance organic traffic generation, and ultimately bolster sales figures.

1.  Conduct Comprehensive Keyword Research:

Performing thorough keyword research is essential for the success of any search engine optimisation (SEO) effort. Determine pertinent terms and phrases employed by prospective clients when conducting searches for products within your specific market segment. In order to identify keywords with high search volume and low competition, it is recommended to employ keyword research tools. Long-tail keywords possess significant value for eCommerce websites due to their tendency to signal a greater level of purchase intent.

2.  Optimize Product Pages:

In order to increase organic traffic to your online store, you need to optimise each individual product page for certain keywords. Titles, meta descriptions, and body copy should all be optimised using your target keywords. Create something that stands out from the crowd, educates the reader, and makes them want to buy the product.

3.  Focus on Site Speed and Mobile Responsiveness:

Pay Attention to Site Speed and Mobile Responsiveness: Both of these variables significantly affect search engine rankings. A website's bounce rate and search engine rankings might both suffer if it takes too long to load. Image compression, caching methods, and the use of content distribution networks will all help your website load faster. In order to deliver a consistent experience across all devices, you need also to make sure your website is fully responsive.

4.  Implement Rich Snippets and Schema Markup:

You may improve the visual appeal of your product listings in search engine results by using rich snippets and schema markup. They increase the likelihood of getting clicks from potential buyers by giving them more information, like product ratings, prices, and availability. Using structured data improves your content's discoverability by making it easier to crawl and index.

5.  Create High-Quality Content:

Add a blog to your online store and update it frequently with informative posts on your items, industry developments, and the problems faced by your customer base. Useful and interesting content does more than just get you more visitors; it also positions you as a go-to resource in your field. Promoting your blog entries on social media and getting others to link to them can help your SEO efforts tremendously.

6.  Optimize for Voice Search:

It is no longer optional to optimise for voice search, what with the popularity of speech-activated assistants like Siri and Alexa. Since voice searches are typically longer and more conversational, your content should emphasise the use of natural language and long-tail keywords. Increasing your visibility in voice search results can be accomplished by providing clear and helpful responses to frequently asked topics. Maximize your online potential and experience result-driven eCommerce solutions with Nivida Web Solutions - an excellent eCommerce development company in Vadodara.

7.  Leverage User-Generated Content:

User-generated content (UGC) like customer reviews and testimonials are great for your SEO and for gaining the trust of future customers. Search engines tend to favour sites that update their information frequently, and reviews give both new and original material. Inspire customers to contribute their opinions and experiences by allowing them to do so on the product pages you create.

8.  Improve Site Architecture and Navigation:

Users and search engines both place a high value on a site's structure and the ease with which they can navigate it. Make that the hierarchy of your website's categories, subcategories, and individual product pages makes sense. Users and search engine bots alike will appreciate your efforts to create internal links to relevant sections of your site. Better engagement metrics can have a favourable effect on your search engine rankings, so make sure your site is as user-friendly as possible.

9.  Optimize for Local SEO:

If your online store also has brick-and-mortar locations or serves a geographically limited customer base, local search engine optimisation is a must. Build landing pages for each of your physical locations, enhance your Google My Business profile, and solicit reviews from your neighbourhood's finest. By optimising local search, you can attract customers who are looking for products in your area.

10. Monitor and Analyze Performance:

Use Google Analytics and Search Console on a regular basis to track your website's success. Check your keyword rankings, bounce rates, and conversion rates, among other important indicators. If you have a firm grasp of these KPIs, you'll be in a better position to monitor progress and make adjustments to your eCommerce SEO strategy as needed.

Final Thoughts:

Improving your eCommerce website's exposure and rating in search engines relies heavily on your use of efficient SEO tactics. You can greatly increase your chances of success in the competitive eCommerce landscape by conducting extensive keyword research, optimising product pages, focusing on site speed and mobile responsiveness, leveraging rich snippets, creating valuable content, optimising for voice search, using user-generated content, improving site architecture, optimising for local SEO, and continuously monitoring performance. In order to stay ahead of the competition and draw a consistent stream of organic visitors to your online store, you need to be proactive and adapt to changing SEO trends.

Are Name Labels Worth It? A Cost vs. Benefit Breakdown

In today’s fast-paced world, organization and efficiency are key, especially for families, students, and professionals. Name Labels have become an essential tool for keeping track of personal belongings, but are they really worth the investment? Let’s break down the cost versus the benefits of using Name Labels.

The Cost of Name Labels

Name Labels come in various types, including stick-on, iron-on, and waterproof options. Prices typically range from a few dollars for a basic set to premium, personalized designs that may cost more. While the upfront cost might seem unnecessary to some, it’s important to consider the long-term savings they provide.

The Benefits of Name Labels

1. Preventing Loss and Replacement Costs

One of the biggest advantages of Name Labels is preventing loss. Whether it’s school supplies, lunchboxes, water bottles, or clothing, labeled items are more likely to be returned. This reduces the need for frequent replacements, ultimately saving money over time.

2. Easy Identification

For families with multiple children, Name Labels help differentiate between similar-looking items. This is particularly useful for uniforms, backpacks, and stationery, ensuring that each child keeps their belongings separate.

3. Durability and Long-Lasting Use

High-quality Name Labels are designed to withstand washing, exposure to water, and everyday wear and tear. Waterproof and fade-resistant labels ensure longevity, meaning they won’t peel off or become unreadable after a short period.

4. Time-Saving Convenience

Labeling items manually with markers can be time-consuming and ineffective. Name Labels offer a quick and efficient solution, saving time for parents and individuals who need to organize their belongings efficiently.

5. Versatility for Multiple Uses

Beyond school supplies, Name Labels are useful in workplaces, nursing homes, daycare centers, and even travel. Labeled luggage, office supplies, and electronic devices minimize mix-ups and losses.

Are They Worth It?

Considering the savings on replacements, the convenience of easy identification, and the durability of high-quality labels, Name Labels prove to be a cost-effective investment. While they come with an initial cost, the long-term benefits far outweigh the expense, making them a practical choice for families and professionals alike.

If you’re looking for an affordable and hassle-free way to keep your belongings safe, investing in Name Labels is definitely worth it!

GTIN

What is GTIN and Why is It Important for Businesses?

The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is a unique identifier assigned to products and services to ensure smooth operations in global trade. As commerce becomes increasingly global and interconnected, the need for standardized product identification is more important than ever. The GTIN system helps businesses identify, track, and manage products across various platforms, whether they are sold in physical stores, online marketplaces, or in bulk to wholesalers.

This article will explore what GTIN is, its different formats, how it works, and why it is essential for businesses in today’s retail and supply chain ecosystem.

What is GTIN?

The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is a unique identifier used to track and identify products and trade items. It serves as a standard method of identifying goods across global markets and supply chains. GTINs can be applied to various types of trade items, including individual products, packaging units, and bulk items.

GTINs are typically encoded in barcodes, which allow for quick scanning and retrieval of product information. They are crucial for businesses as they streamline the processes of inventory management, point-of-sale transactions, and product tracking.

GTIN Formats

The GTIN system supports several formats, each with a different number of digits. The format you use depends on the type of product and the market where it will be sold. The key GTIN formats include:

GTIN-8: An 8-digit identifier used for small products that don’t have much space for a larger barcode, such as certain cosmetics or small electronic items.

GTIN-12 (UPC): A 12-digit identifier commonly used in North America to track retail products. It is part of the Universal Product Code (UPC) system.

GTIN-13 (EAN): A 13-digit identifier used internationally, particularly in Europe and other regions outside North America.

GTIN-14: A 14-digit identifier used to identify trade items that are sold in bulk, such as cartons, pallets, or cases containing multiple individual items.

Each format is used to suit different business needs, but all formats are part of the same GTIN system and follow similar principles for product identification.

How Does GTIN Work?

A GTIN works by providing a unique identifier for a product, which can be used in various business processes. Here’s how it generally functions:

Product Creation: Manufacturers and suppliers create products and need to assign a unique identifier to each product. This is done by registering with GS1, the global standards organization, which provides a company prefix for creating GTINs.

Barcode Generation: Once a GTIN is created for a product, it is typically encoded into a barcode. This barcode is printed on product packaging, labels, or tags, making it easy to scan and identify the product.

Scanning and Transaction: When a product is sold or tracked, the barcode is scanned using a barcode scanner. The GTIN is decoded, and the relevant product information is pulled from the system, such as its price, description, stock levels, and more.

Inventory Management: As products are scanned at various points in the supply chain (e.g., warehouses, retail stores, and distribution centers), businesses can update inventory levels in real-time, ensuring efficient stock management and reducing the risk of stockouts or overstocking.

Why is GTIN Important?

The GTIN system offers several key benefits to businesses, manufacturers, and consumers:

Standardized Identification: The GTIN provides a global standard for product identification. Regardless of where the product is sold, a GTIN ensures that it is uniquely identifiable, helping to prevent confusion and errors in the supply chain.

Improved Efficiency: Using GTINs encoded in barcodes allows for quicker, more efficient product scanning. This speeds up the checkout process at retail stores, reduces human errors in manual entry, and ensures accurate pricing and product details.

Better Inventory Control: The use of GTINs helps businesses manage their inventory more effectively. Real-time updates and automated tracking allow businesses to monitor product stock levels, predict demand, and manage orders with greater accuracy.

Global Trade Compatibility: Since GTINs are used worldwide, they enable businesses to sell products in international markets. Different regions may use different formats (e.g., GTIN-12 in North America and GTIN-13 in Europe), but the GTIN system ensures that products can be easily identified and tracked across borders.

E-commerce Integration: Many e-commerce platforms, including Amazon and eBay, require products to have a GTIN for listing. This makes it easier for businesses to sell products online and reach a broader customer base.

Consumer Confidence: GTINs help consumers feel confident that they are purchasing the correct product. The system reduces the likelihood of purchasing the wrong item due to confusion over product identifiers and allows for easy product returns and exchanges if needed.

How to Obtain a GTIN

To obtain a GTIN, businesses must first register with GS1, the organization responsible for assigning GTINs. Once registered, GS1 provides a company prefix, which is used to create unique GTINs for different products. Businesses can then generate barcodes for each GTIN and print them on product packaging.

If you’re new to the process and need help obtaining GTINs or generating barcodes, resources such as gtin.info can provide valuable guidance and tools to help businesses get started.

Conclusion

The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is a vital part of modern commerce, helping businesses efficiently track and manage products across the supply chain. Whether you're operating a small retail store or a large multinational corporation, adopting the GTIN system ensures that your products are accurately identified, transactions are streamlined, and inventory is efficiently managed. By understanding and leveraging GTINs, businesses can improve operational efficiency, reduce errors, and expand their reach in both local and global markets.

Trademark and Barcode Registration: The Twin Pillars of Brand Protection and Product Character

In a time characterized by consumer choice, companies must focus on safeguarding their brand and product individuality to succeed in competitive markets. Two essential tools that allow companies to build credibility, avert counterfeiting, and guarantee smooth supply chain management are Trademark Registration and Barcode Registration. Trademarks safeguard intellectual property rights, whereas barcodes enable automated tracking, inventory management, and product verification. They form a solid structure for companies to safeguard their brand assets and optimize their commercial activities. This article examines the importance of registering trademarks and barcodes, emphasizing their distinct advantages, relationship with one another, and contribution to building trust among consumers and retailers.

Understanding Trademark Registration: The Legal Shield for Brands

A trademark is a unique word, emblem, design, or combination thereof that sets apart products or services from those of rivals. Trademark Registration provides legal ownership, deterring unauthorized use and bolstering brand equity.

1. Why Businesses Need Trademark Registration

Exclusive Rights: Trademark registration provides the owner with legal exclusivity, confirming competitors cannot misuse identical or deceptively similar marks.

Legal Protection Against Infringement: If a third party copies, imitates, or misuses a registered trademark, legal action can be taken to enforce rights and claim damages.

Brand Recognition and Market Positioning: A strong trademark increases brand recall, strengthening consumer trust and fostering loyalty.

Valuable Intangible Asset: A trademark can be licensed, franchised, or sold, creating long-term commercial value.

2. Steps to Register a Trademark

Trademark Search: Before applying, businesses must conduct a thorough search to confirm the chosen mark is available.

Filing the Application: Submit the trademark application under the appropriate trademark class based on the nature of goods or services.

Examination & Publication: The registry examines the application, followed by publication in the Trademark Journal for objections.

Registration & Certificate Issuance: If no oppositions arise, the trademark gets approved, and the owner receives a registration certificate, granting exclusive usage rights.

3. Global Trademark Protection

For companies expanding internationally, Madrid Protocol registration simplifies trademark protection in multiple countries without requiring a single application.

Barcode Registration: The Digital Signature of Products

A barcode is a product-specific code, both numeric and visual, that can be read by machines. It serves purposes of tracking, identification, and inventory control. Barcode Registration simplify operations through guaranteeing precise scanning, accurate pricing, and automated stock management without errors.

1. Importance of Barcode Registration

Product Identification: Each barcode is unique to a product, eliminating confusion and enhancing supply chain efficiency.

Retail Compliance: Many supermarkets, e-commerce platforms, and logistics providers mandate barcodes for efficient sales tracking.

Anti-Counterfeiting Measures: Barcodes help businesses authenticate genuine products, reducing fraud risks.

Seamless Global Trade: Barcode registration with GS1 (Global Standards Organization) enables international product recognition, making exports smoother.

2. Steps to Register a Barcode

Apply for a GS1 Prefix: Businesses must obtain a GS1 Company Prefix, which forms the foundation of their unique barcodes.

Generate Unique Product Codes: Each product gets a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) to guarantee differentiation.

Barcode Creation & Labeling: Barcodes are generated in EAN-13 or UPC-A formats and printed onto product packaging.

Database Integration: The barcode is linked to an internal system for inventory tracking and sales monitoring.

3. Barcode vs. QR Code: Key Differences

Similar to barcodes, which store product-related data, QR codes can contain more information, including website URLs, promotions, and digital authentication details. Businesses use both systems depending on their operational needs.

Trademark and Barcode: A Strategic Business Synergy

1. Confirming Market Security

By combining trademark and barcode registration, businesses can effectively safeguard their brand characteristics while safeguarding traceability across supply chains. Trademarks legally safeguard logos and brand names, while barcodes digitally track product movements.

2. Combatting Counterfeiting

Counterfeit goods pose significant risks to consumer trust. Trademarks prevent brand name misuse, while barcodes authenticate genuine products, allowing customers and retailers to verify legitimacy before purchase.

3. Enhancing E-commerce and Retail Expansion

Both trademarks and barcodes are essential for online and offline sales:

Trademarks confirm brand visibility on e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Shopify.

Barcodes enable seamless listing, pricing, and inventory updates, making retail integration effortless.

4. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Government regulations require businesses to adhere to intellectual property laws and product tracking standards.

Trademark infringement cases (e.g., disputes between global brands) highlight the necessity of securing a legally registered brand uniqueness.

Barcode mandates in pharmaceuticals, food safety, and electronics reinforce quality assurance and consumer protection.

Case Studies: How Businesses Benefit from Trademark and Barcode Registration

Case Study 1: The Coca-Cola Trademark Battle

Coca-Cola has taken strong measures to secure its brand uniqueness via trademark registration. Coca-Cola’s legal enforcement thwarted attempts by a competing beverage brand to adopt a name that bore a misleading resemblance, thus averting consumer confusion and safeguarding its market supremacy.

Case Study 2: Barcode Tracking in the Retail Industry

Leading retailers such as Walmart and Tesco employ GS1 barcodes for inventory tracking, fraud prevention, and enhancing pricing precision. By minimizing mistakes made by humans and speeding up checkouts, this system improves the customer experience.

Future Trends: The Evolution of Trademark and Barcode Technologies

1. Digital Trademarks and Blockchain Protection

Blockchain-based trademark registration increases security by creating an immutable digital record of ownership, reducing fraudulent registrations.

2. AI-Powered Barcode Scanning

Retailers and logistics firms now employ artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time barcode analysis, increasing supply chain accuracy and preventing product misplacement.

3. Smart Labels and IoT Integration

Smart packaging utilizes RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) with barcodes, enabling businesses to track product conditions, temperature, and location remotely.

Conclusion

Trademark and barcode registration are essential pillars for businesses seeking brand safety and operational efficiency. A registered trademark establishes legal ownership, safeguarding intellectual property, while barcodes streamline logistics, enhance product traceability, and prevent counterfeiting.

By integrating both systems, companies can achieve greater market credibility, regulatory compliance, and long-term business growth. As technology progresses, the combination of digital trademarks, AI-driven barcode tracking, and blockchain authentication will further enhance brand protection and product self in the evolving global market.

GTIN-12

What is GTIN-12 and How Does it Work?

In today’s fast-paced retail and supply chain industries, effective product identification is key to ensuring smooth operations. One of the most widely used product identification systems is the GTIN-12, also known as the Universal Product Code (UPC). The GTIN-12 plays a crucial role in improving product tracking, inventory management, and consumer transactions. It is recognized globally and serves as the standard for identifying individual products, particularly in North America.

What is GTIN-12?

The GTIN-12 is a 12-digit number used to uniquely identify products at the retail level. It is part of the larger Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) system, which is managed by GS1, the global organization responsible for product identification standards. The GTIN-12, commonly referred to as the UPC (Universal Product Code), is one of the most widely recognized and used barcodes in the world.

Each GTIN-12 is unique to a specific product or service and is typically encoded into a barcode that can be scanned at various points along the supply chain, from warehouses to point-of-sale systems.

Structure of GTIN-12

The GTIN-12 consists of 12 digits, each of which serves a specific purpose. Here is a breakdown of its structure:

Company Prefix: The first set of digits, typically between 6 to 10 digits, is assigned to a company or manufacturer by GS1. This prefix identifies the company that owns the product and is a unique identifier for the manufacturer.

Item Reference: The next set of digits represents the product or item. These digits are unique to the specific product or SKU, helping to differentiate it from other products produced by the same manufacturer.

Check Digit: The final digit is the check digit, calculated using a mathematical formula to ensure that the GTIN-12 number is correctly formatted. It acts as a validation tool, helping to detect errors in scanning or data entry.

How Does GTIN-12 Work?

The GTIN-12 is encoded into a barcode, which is printed on the product packaging. When scanned, the barcode is decoded, and the corresponding product information is retrieved from a database, such as price, description, stock levels, and more.

Here’s a simple example of how the GTIN-12 works in a retail setting:

Product Creation: A manufacturer produces a product, such as a bottle of shampoo. The manufacturer registers with GS1 and is assigned a company prefix. They then create a unique GTIN-12 for each variation of the product (e.g., size, color, or packaging).

Barcode Generation: The GTIN-12 number is then encoded into a barcode, which is printed on the product’s packaging.

Scanning and Data Retrieval: At the point of sale, a cashier scans the GTIN-12 barcode on the shampoo bottle. The barcode scanner decodes the GTIN-12, and the relevant product information (such as price and description) is displayed in the store’s system, allowing the transaction to be completed efficiently.

Benefits of GTIN-12

Improved Efficiency: The GTIN-12 allows for quick and accurate product identification using barcode scanners. This speeds up the checkout process, reduces manual errors, and streamlines inventory management.

Standardization: The GTIN-12 is recognized globally and follows the same format, making it easy for businesses to identify products across various regions. For example, retailers in North America widely use GTIN-12 barcodes, making it easy to trade and distribute goods internationally.

Reduced Errors: By eliminating the need for manual entry of product details, GTIN-12 reduces the risk of human error, ensuring that the correct product is scanned, purchased, and shipped.

Better Inventory Control: With GTIN-12 barcodes, businesses can track product sales and stock levels in real-time. This helps retailers and suppliers make informed decisions about restocking, reducing inventory costs, and preventing stockouts.

Enhanced Consumer Experience: The GTIN-12 simplifies the checkout process for consumers. Barcode scanning ensures fast and accurate transactions, leading to a better shopping experience.

E-commerce Compatibility: Many e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, require products to have a GTIN-12 for listing. Having a unique GTIN-12 for each product enables businesses to sell their items on various online marketplaces, increasing visibility and sales.

When Should You Use GTIN-12?

The GTIN-12 is primarily used for individual products, especially in North America. Retailers and wholesalers often rely on GTIN-12 to track items on store shelves or manage inventory at a distribution center. GTIN-12 is suitable for products that are sold individually or in standard retail packaging.

Here are some examples of when you should use GTIN-12:

Retail Products: GTIN-12 is widely used for everyday products, such as groceries, clothing, electronics, and personal care items, sold at retail stores.

E-commerce: If you sell products online, many platforms require a GTIN-12 to list your items and ensure accurate product identification.

Manufacturers and Distributors: Manufacturers producing consumer goods or products for sale to distributors often use GTIN-12 to uniquely identify their products for resale.

How to Obtain a GTIN-12

To obtain a GTIN-12, businesses must first register with GS1, the organization responsible for assigning GTINs. Once registered, GS1 will assign the company a unique company prefix, which is used to generate GTIN-12 numbers for the products. Businesses will then create barcodes that correspond to each GTIN-12 and attach them to their products.

If you're new to the process and need help with generating GTIN-12 barcodes, resources like gtin.info can guide you through the process.

Conclusion

The GTIN-12 (UPC) is a crucial element of the GTIN system that plays a significant role in product identification, inventory management, and retail operations. Whether for streamlining transactions, improving stock tracking, or enabling e-commerce sales, GTIN-12 provides businesses with an efficient, standardized system for managing products. By adopting GTIN-12, companies can ensure smoother operations, reduce errors, and enhance the overall customer experience. For businesses looking to implement GTIN-12, resources like gtin.info provide valuable information and support to help you get started.
