Barcodes are easy to understand.
Here are the basics:

Barcode numbers: explained.
A barcode is made up of three series of numbers:
- The first 6-10 numbers identify the company
- The last number checks the barcode is valid
- And the numbers inbetween these identify the item
How many barcodes do I need?
Items are often available in a large number of different options, whether sizes, colors, shapes, configurations - the list goes on and on. You may need a separate barcode for each and every variation of your product, and your first step should be to work out how many product codes you use to uniquely identify your products and their various options.
For example, if you make 3 types of pen, and each pen can be one of 3 colors, one of 3 styles, and can be bought in packs of 1, 10 or 100, you will need to identify 81 different item variations:
3 types * 3 colors * 3 styles * 3 packs = 81 barcodes required.
You should also keep in mind your future business plans; if you intend to bring out a new type of pen, you will need 27 extra barcodes to cover the new product line.

How to use your barcodes
Printing and display
The optimum combination is a white background with the barcode printed in black. When printing your barcodes, avoid bright colors and use dark shades instead; and always print them in a single solid color, not using multiple colors.
Barcode placement
Give careful consideration to where you want barcodes to be placed on your package. If they are in an inconvenient location, it will take people longer to scan them, slowing down processing. Also avoid areas that will be scraped or commonly damaged.
Size and ratio
Barcode scanners expect barcodes to come in a standard ration. Therefore, if you need to alter any barcode graphics files, you must ensure that the width and heights remain proportionally the same to one another.
