ISBN Book Barcode
Barcode images created from your ISBN number
Purchase ISBN Barcode Images for Books
You first need to get an ISBN number for your publication. In Tonga you can get an ISBN number from the South Pacific ISBN Agency (the USP University of the South Pacific library in Fiji).
After the Agency has assigned an ISBN number to your publication, please come back to this page to order the ISBN barcode images.
Note: Crossword books, colouring-in books, diaries do not use ISBNs as they are not published by an author. Instead they use standard retail barcodes (EAN-13 barcodes) which can be purchased on our retail barcodes page.
You will be asked to enter your ISBN number into the order form at the checkout page.
An ISBN is 13 digit unique identifier number assigned to books and other print, electronic, or multimedia publications. It is used for printed books and pamphlets containing more than four pages of text, maps, e-books, pdfs, Braille publications and audio books.
An ISBN barcode is a barcode image (the black bars) which encodes a specific ISBN number. ISBN numbers are only ever issued once, so shops use this number to keep track of price, inventory and other attributes of each book they stock (attributes like book title wouldn’t work here because two books can have the same title). The black bars encode the unique ISBN number and allow it to be read by a handheld scanner at the checkout, which is much more accurate than the cashier inputting the numbers manually.
The International ISBN Agency has organisations in most countries around the world to manage the distribution of ISBN numbers to publications within each country. In Tonga and the South Pacific you can get an ISBN number from the South Pacific ISBN Agency.

Thank you so much for sorting out my barcode so speedily, I used you two years ago when I published my first book, and I’ve used you once again for the second book – and again received excellent service. If you would like to use that endorsement, then please feel free!
