SKU - Stock Keeping Unit. This is the actual package/product. UPC- Universal Product Code. This is the code assigned to the SKU which is used to identify it. Each product (SKU) is assigned a unique UPC which will differentiate it from all others.
An SKU is commonly referred to as a skew.
SKU stands for shelf keeping unit in retail. SKU can also mean stock keeping unit and it is used to identify products that are for sale.
If you need a lot of UPC codes then you should register for your own UPC prefix with GS1 (formerly UCC) so that you can issue your own UPC numbers. This can cost from $750 and up depending on how many UPC's you need to issue, plus an annual renewal fee. If you just need a few now and then, there are many companies on the web that offer UPC bar codes one at a time, just Google "buy UPC barcode" and you will find a few. Their prices range from $29-89 per UPC bar code, and some charge a one-time membership fee.

Short for stock keeping unit, SKU is a unique numerical identifying number that refers to a specific stock item in a retailer's inventory or product catalog. The SKU is often used to identify the product, product size or type, and the manufacturer. In the retail industry, the SKU is a part of the backend inventory control system and enables a retailer to track a product in their inventory that may be in warehouses or in retail outlets.

An SKU is a merchant-specific code ("stock-keeping unit") that identifies a billable item (product, service, discount, et cetera) and is programmed into the Point of Sale (POS) system. The UPC (Universal Product Code) is assigned by that product's manufacturer or distributor, and is usually part of the packaging and appears as a barcode. The SKU and UPC codes may reference the same product, but only within the context of a single Merchant or store. Example: Coke Zero 12 oz. aluminum can (US) has a UPC barcode that Coca Cola Enterprises burned into each can - that UPC con't change, regardless of the Merchant that sells it (Wal Mart, Target, 7-11, etc.) However, the Wal MArt SKU is (very likely) different than the Target SKU for that same product. The SKU is usually visible on the shelf label with the item name (usually in smaller print.)
