What are EAN Barcodes?

EAN-13 barcodes serve as the standard format for retail product identification in New Zealand and most other countries. These 13-digit codes fall under the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) system. They support product tracking, stock management, and point-of-sale scanning.

The European Article Number (EAN) is a global standard. It defines both barcode formatting and a unique product numbering system. Retailers and distributors use EAN barcodes to identify and manage products across international supply chains.

Retailers use EAN-13 barcodes on nearly all products except books and magazines. The format is common in most countries, except the USA and Canada, where UPC-A barcodes dominate. EAN-13 barcodes contain 13 digits and use the EAN-13 symbology. After purchase, customers receive their barcode numbers and images via email. Businesses then place the barcode image on their product packaging.

When a retailer first receives a product, they scan the barcode and enter the product details. After this, future scans automatically bring up the product’s information.

Originally created to streamline retail checkouts, EAN barcodes now serve many functions. Businesses use them in wholesale orders, accounting systems, and inventory tracking. Although GTIN includes other barcode formats, EAN-13 remains a key standard in global retail. Its simplicity and wide acceptance make it ideal for retail operations.
