What is a Bar Code?
A barcode (or bar code) is a unique sequence of digits that is used to identify an item or product. Most barcodes on retail products are in either EAN (13 digit) or UPC (12 digit) format. A barcode number can be turned into a barcode image (vertical black bars). When a barcode images is scanned at a checkout counter, product information will appear on the checkout screen.
What is an EAN Code?
The European Article Number (EAN) is a barcode standard, a 12- or 13-digit product identification code. Each EAN uniquely identifies the product, manufacturer, and its attributes; typically, the EAN is printed on a product label or packaging as a bar code.
An EAN code is a unique combination of figures used to identify an object on the basis of a European system (‘EAN’ stands for ‘European Article Numbering’). (Click Here to Get GS1 EAN Codes)
What is a GTIN-13? How Many Numbers are in a EAN Code?
GTIN stands for Global Trade Identification Number, the coding structure that identifies a product. The GTIN-13 of a product is the unique 13 digit code shown beneath the bar code.
The data encoded inside a EAN barcode is known as the GTIN-13. GS1 is the global identification standards organization who created the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) data structures. GTIN-13 is used to represent EAN barcodes in Europe. As referenced below, the GTIN-13 is an identifier consisting three components.
What’s the Difference Between UPC and EAN?
UPC’s are the most commonly used bar codes in the United States. EAN’s (European Article Number) are used internationally. Nowadays, most places will accept both product UPC codes and EAN codes, although if you are planning on selling your products outside of the United States, an EAN code might be best for you. EAN barcodes use a 13-digit format, typically created by adding a leading “0” to the standard 12-digit UPC code (GTIN-12). Despite this difference in presentation, the codes are functionally identical.
