About EAN-13 Barcodes
What is a EAN-13?
The EAN-13 is the barcode you see on almost every product in a retail store around the world. It helps identify products at checkout.
Common Use Cases
Used almost exclusively at the point of sale in retail stores. It tells the scanner what product is being purchased. For smaller items, the shorter EAN-8 is often used.
Helpful Information
This barcode is always 13 digits long. You provide the first 12 digits, and the 13th digit (a check character) is automatically calculated and added to ensure accuracy. It is a superset of the UPC-A barcode.
