There's a local store near me that is interested in selling some of our syrup and we'll talk next month after the season about the details. Someone asked me about a UPC code and I hadn't thought about that. We're actually working on a custom container with Sugarhill and they told us that they could add one so I know how to get it on the container, but I'm not sure which type of code that I should get.
To get an "official" UPC code with your own "manufacturers" number, it costs $750. There are other outfits that I can get one for $20. The number would be unique, but the manufacturer number (the first few digits) would not be. I read some where that grocery stores like to have unique manufacturer numbers. Does anyone sell syrup at a local grocery store and use a UPC code? What did you do?
Thanks!
