Finding the Source for Nearly any Product
Have you ever been to a specialty store and seen something you thought might sell well in your business? But maybe you wondered how to find the wholesale product source for it? Here’s a way to find out the wholesale product source for just about any product.Look at the UPC Label. Nearly every product on the market is labeled with this code. If you’re not sure what a UPC Code looks like, About.com has a write-up on UPCs here.
Write down the first 6 numbers of the UPC Code (or enter them in your PDA). When you get back to the home office, get on the web. The Uniform Code Council maintains a free reverse lookup website, where you can type in those numbers and VOILA! It will show you the primary supplier (with address) for that item.

That reverse lookup up site is not easy to figure out. You have to pick the right code on the left without knowing what all the codes mean. Confusing.
