The EAN-8 barcode was developed for use in small packages. It is used in place of the EAN-13 barcode when the nominal size EAN-13 barcode covers more than 25% of the printed surface of the package, such as a gum package.
| Valid symbols: | 0123456789 |
| length: | Fixed, 8 characters |
| Check digit: | One, modulo 10 algorithm |
The structure of the TEAN-8 barcode is the same as that of the EAN-13 barcode. The check digit is calculated automatically regardless of the input data.
The barcode contains the following data:
3 digits – a prefix that represents a country's organization.
4 digits – product code.
1 digit – check digit
This barcode does not contain the producer's code and has only 4 digits. Therefore, 10000 samples can be registered per tissue, and the EAN-8 barcode will be provided only to the tissues that are really needed.
"EAN-8" barcode.
