    Barcodes carry only numerical data (the exact digits printed below the bars).

    The first half is a manufacturer code;

    the second half is the "catalog number" of the product.

    There is no provision to encode a price.

    All of the other info is programmed as read-only data in a computerized system.

    You will need to register your company with an appropriate agency

    to get your unique manufacturer ID,

    then enter that into your barcode printing program.

    Google "barcode registration".
