BARCODES + ISRC CODES

BARCODES

Your release will need a Barcode if you want many local stores or online outlets to stock it.
You will also need a valid Barcode number in order to register for PPL / Neighbouring Rights.

NOTE : It is recommended that different formats (ie. CD / Vinyl / Cassette) have separate BARCODE numbers for accounting / stock-control purposes.
The Barcodes we provide are licenced from GS1 (US) and are 100% compatible with all Barcode systems in retail stores across the World and have never been rejected by any retailer.

There are two widely-used Barcode types:-
EAN Barcode : (13 digits for use especially in the UK and Europe)
UPC Barcode : (12 digits for use in the USA and Canada)

Receive EAN and UPC Barcodes at no extra cost

Barcodes are provided as .jpg files for printing purposes

No Renewal Fees, Annual Fees or Membership Charges

All Barcodes are VERIFIED and YOURS FOREVER

Hundreds of potential uses

Accepted by Online & Offline Retailers WORLDWIDE

BARCODES are suitable for all Audio / Video formats

BARCODES identify the product, not the retail price

ISRC CODES can be issued separately if required

Prompt order processing

Use INSTANTLY on Amazon / eBay / Bandcamp etc

Official Charts Company registrations are your responsibility

ISRC CODES

When releasing Physical or Digital releases your songs require ISRC Codes (International Standard Recording Codes).
ISRC Codes identify individual tracks rather than a whole product (ie. single / ep / album) and assist in the correct allocation of royalties from PPL etc.
These can also be used on your Bandcamp / Soundcloud Repost sites etc.

ISWC NUMBERS

Another number sometimes used to identify works is an ISWC Number (International Standard Musical Work Code).
The allocation of ISWC Numbers is managed by the ISWC Network, so I regret that we can't issue these and don´t have any control over when these numbers are allocated to any specific work.

BARCODE / ISRC services are free for all Maori Music Publishing clients, but we can provide them for non-clients too.
