Buddee Foods, a local Melbourne-based food business co-founded by Rodney Chieng, is one of the many Australian companies that are benefitting from being a member of GS1 Australia.

Rodney had known about GS1 through a previous business. So, when he started Buddee Foods, with the goal of having his products ranged by major retailers, he knew he needed GS1 barcodes.

DID YOU KNOW? NOT ALL BARCODES ARE AUTHORISED FOR USE

Have you ever thought about the costs of using an unauthorised barcode? Not only do you have the extra design and packaging costs by having to update it with the right barcode, but you also have the reputational damage of having major retailers turn your products away because the barcode doesn't match the product it's on when scanned.

GS1 is the only authorised source of Barcodes in Australia. Don’t put your reputation at risk, get your authentic and globally authorised barcodes from GS1 Australia, the Not-for-profit who can help you grow.
