SKUs, barcodes and labels for Shopify stores in the United Arab Emirates
Labels print Arabic and English together, with Arabic shaped and ordered right to left correctly.
What stores in the United Arab Emirates usually need
| Retail barcode | EAN-13 (13 digits; codes from GS1 UAE start with 629) |
|---|---|
| Where to get a company prefix | GS1 UAE |
| Common label paper | A4 sheets and thermal rolls |
| Prices on labels | Dirhams. Add custom text such as "incl. VAT" after the price. |
Barcodes from your GS1 UAE prefix
If you sell through retailers or marketplaces, get a company prefix from GS1 UAE. Enter it once in SGT and the app builds a valid code with the correct check digit for every variant, skips numbers already used in your store, and shows how many codes your prefix has left. For barcodes only used in your own shop and stockroom, internal codes or Code 128 work without a prefix.
Labels that fit your paper
Choose your exact printer and label size, or enter a custom size with your own margins and gaps. SGT prints a PDF at actual size and lets you nudge the print by a millimetre if your printer feeds slightly off.
Prices in dirhams
Labels can show the price and compare-at price with or without the currency symbol, before or after the number, with a decimal comma if you prefer, and with your own text. Add custom text such as "incl. VAT" after the price. If you sell in several countries, a label can show the price for one of your Shopify Markets.
