What is EAN Barcode?

The EAN barcode, also known as the European Article Number barcode, is a widely-used linear barcode that is used to encode product information in a variety of industries, such as retail, healthcare, and logistics. The EAN barcode consists of a series of parallel bars and spaces, with each digit being represented by a different pattern of bars and spaces. The barcode typically contains 13 digits, which are used to encode information such as the manufacturer’s code, product code, and check digit. One of the key advantages of the EAN barcode is its universal adoption. The barcode is recognized by retailers and distributors around the world, making it a popular choice for product identification and tracking. In addition, the EAN barcode can be easily read by a wide range of scanning devices, including handheld scanners, fixed-mounted scanners, and mobile phones. Another advantage of the EAN barcode is its versatility. The barcode can be printed on a variety of materials, including paper, plastic, and metal, and can be used on a wide range of products, including food, books, and consumer goods. The barcode can also be used for other applications, such as tracking inventory and managing document workflows. Overall, the EAN barcode is a powerful tool for encoding and tracking product information. Its widespread adoption, versatility, and ease of use make it a popular choice for a wide range of industries, and it is likely to remain an important technology for many years to come.
