A barcode represents the data in a visual form that can be easily read by machines. Most buyers, especially the ones who do not have much idea about the barcode readers or how they are provided, wish to know about their origin. Before you begin to look for the answer to this question, you need to know a thing or two about barcodes. They are of different types, so a lot depends on the type of barcode for which you want to know the answer.
If you think about the various kinds of barcodes that exist at present, ou will end up with a long list of such codes. To simplify matters for your understanding, you can divide them into categories rather than dealing with the longer list. Broadly, you can classify them into 1D and 2D.
On average, barcode labels manufacturers provide the UPC barcode. However, in other cases, suppliers may also provide some barcodes. Again, this depends on the type of barcode in question. From the standpoint of 1D and 2Ds, UPCs belong to the former group. More often than not, it is the manufacturers of barcodes who provide them to suppliers along with the list of the products. Suppliers or retailers may also provide them but only in special cases.
