Barcoding in the UK.

[The Wicker Man]

I've seen a lot of threads about barcoding although unfortunately they primarily pertain to stores in the US.

Looking around the web it seems that many UK stores such as Marks and Spencer, Comet and Halfords use their own individually regulated barcoding systems that are derivatives of the UK standard EAN-8/13 barcodes.

Does anyone have any ideas how this works? I'd assume that generic products sold across numerous other stores would have a generic barcode while store specific products would have the store specific barcode.

I guess it'd be safe to switch a store barcoded product with a generically barcoded product?

And does anybody know of any software that can produce the store specific barcodes? I've found http://www.peninsula-group.com/Barcode/default.html but they're wanting £250 something quid for it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, but the trial version doesn't let you register by serial. It instead sends out another fully functional version of the software. There's no cracks as far as I've searched for that specific program. Nor are there any programs with similar capabilities.

you could take a low priced pair of jeans a low priced t-shirt into the changing rooms, take of the barcode, then put the item back saying it did not fit, this way you could take home bar codes to copy, i dont think this would be noticed if you use other stores far away from where you live.
