EAN‑13 is the global standard for retail product marking. It is widely used in supermarkets, consumer goods, and international trade. Most GS1‑registered products worldwide rely on this format because it’s easy to scan and supports automated checkout systems.
Typical use cases:
EAN‑8 is a compact version of the EAN standard. It is used when packaging space is limited and the full EAN‑13 code doesn’t fit the design. Despite its smaller size, it still provides fast and reliable scanning.
Typical use cases:
Code 128 is a versatile, high‑density barcode widely used in logistics, warehousing, and internal business operations. It supports numbers, letters, and special characters — ideal for encoding structured data like SKUs, batch numbers, and internal identifiers.
Typical use cases:
Data Matrix is a 2D barcode that stores large volumes of information in a compact space. It is exceptionally durable and can be scanned even when partially damaged, making it popular in manufacturing, electronics, and healthcare.
Typical use cases:
UPC (Universal Product Code) is the dominant retail barcode format in the United States and Canada. It is used for point‑of‑sale scanning, product identification, and stock management.
Typical use cases:
A barcode is a machine-readable code that stores product or item information using a sequence of lines, spaces, or geometric patterns.
Barcodes help automate product identification, speed up checkout, track inventory, and reduce manual errors.
They are widely used in retail, ecommerce, logistics, manufacturing, and warehouse operations.
