SKU vs. Barcode
While barcodes are global numbers used for scanning, SKUs are internal alphanumeric codes that help you organize products by color, size, and category. Establishing a clean system is the first step to successful scaling.
Designing the Perfect Alphanumeric SKU
- Be Logical: A SKU like APP-12-RED-L instantly communicates Apple, iPhone 12, Red, Large.
- Avoid Confusing Characters: Avoid using 'O' and '0' or 'I' and '1' to prevent employee errors.
- Auto-Generate barcodes: Use HisabPlus to print barcodes automatically for custom or unlabeled items.
