Serialised publications such as Magazines and serial Journals require an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). To obtain an ISSN for your serial publication visit the National Library Board at https://www.nlb.gov.sg/depositapp/ to apply.
Once you have your ISSN number from the ISSN National Centre we can generate GS1 standard barcode images in either ISSN 13 digit or ISSN 13 + 2 digit formats depending on your preferences.
Supplemental Numbers for each issue
ISSN 13 + 2 use supplemental digits to indicate the issue of publication e.g. 01 – 12 for each month of the year or 01 – 04 for quarterly publications. ISSN 13 + 2 barcodes can be reused each year.
If you have your ISSN numbers but need assistance with getting GS1 standard images please contact us at contact@barcodesavers.co.za and we’ll provide a quote.
