About EAN-8 Barcodes
What is a EAN-8?
EAN-8 is a compressed version of the EAN-13 barcode, designed for use on small items where a full barcode would be too large, such as on cigarettes, pencils, and chewing gum packets.
Common Use Cases
Used for small consumer goods in the retail sector where package space is at a premium.
Technical Details
Encodes 7 digits of data plus a mandatory checksum digit, for a total of 8 digits. It is a numeric-only barcode, derived from the more common EAN-13 standard.
