Product Name from GS128 Barcode / GTIN

351 views Asked by At

I have GS128 barcode and my scanner scans the GTIN value of it. I want to get the product name from the GTIN value without referring any database. The exact requirement is in my store, I have a new product whose data is not available in the database. On scanning the product which as GS128 barcode , I want to get/retrieve the product name from the barcode. Is there any way I can get product name directly from barcode without having a look on the database.

GTIN is the Global Trade Number. So it does not directly describe the product name in a text format.

You can use that number to know the country which is in the prefix.

If you are not concerned about GTIN, you could use another barcode format, such as code 128, QR or PDF 417 and use a custom format that includes the product name in that barcode.
