What is an ISSN number?

ISSN stands for “International Standard Serial Number”. ISSN numbers identify periodical publications (e.g. magazines, journals, & newspapers). National ISSN offices issue the ISSN numbers. These are usually located at the National Library of each country. The International ISSN Centre (based in Paris) coordinates with all the ISSN offices around the world, and maintains a comprehensive database of every ISSN worldwide.

How is an ISSN number turned into a barcode?

An ISSN barcode image is a visual representation of the ISSN number – each part of your ISSN number is translated into a vertical black bar image. When the barcode image is scanned, your ISSN number will appear on a retailer’s checkout screen. After you give your magazine (or other periodical publication) to your retailer, they will scan your barcode & then enter the product details into their system. This will connect your barcode to your publication. After that, when your barcode is scanned, the product name & price will appear on the checkout screen.

Your ISSN number will be about eight digits long, e.g. 0123-4560. When it is encoded into a barcode, the barcode number will be 13 digits long, e.g. 9770123456008 (the ISSN number is preceded by the digit 977; the checksum digit is recalculated; a two-digit sequence variant, normally “00”  is added, and finally the checksum is recalculated and added. Sometimes supplement digits are added at the end of the barcode to represent the issue number.

See the two examples below:

If you need your barcode to have supplements at the end (like in the image above), just let us know when making your order. The supplement number (two digits long) changes to represent different issues of the magazine. For example, 01 to 12 for a monthly publication or 01 to 52 for a weekly publication.
