Q:How do I get my own UPC code for my indie CD's?

A: You have to contact the Uniform Code Council, the cost for a UPC code varies by how many albums you expect to sell but normally for a small record label or just a band venture $300 covers it. You can contact the Uniform Code Council by visiting their web site and filling out their online forms at http://www.uc-council.org, you can find out more information from their site. Some manufacturers offer their UPC code "free" as part of your manufacturing project if you can't come up with the money yourself then this is a route to go for a band but for small record companies you need your own UPC code.
