Solutions for EAN barcode coding and traceability
Generation and printing of EAN-8 and EAN-13 codes compliant with GS1 standards
The EAN barcode, in its EAN-8 and EAN-13 variants, is the global standard for identifying consumer products. Correct printing requires adherence to GS1 specifications regarding nominal dimensions and tolerances, code quality level according to ISO/IEC 15416, quiet zones, and minimum contrast. The marking system must be integrated with the company's management software for accurate GTIN generation. TTO, HIJ, and laser systems are the technologies that ensure the print quality necessary for reliable reading at retail points of sale. Learn more about the GS1 standard for product coding.
EAN code verification and grading in production
Verifying EAN code quality during production is crucial to avoid rejections at the checkout or by distributor scanners. Our TIJ systems ensure codes are graded compliant with ISO/IEC 15416, measuring parameters such as decodability, minimum contrast, modulation, and defects. Verifiers integrated into production lines flag any deviation from standards in real-time, allowing for immediate correction before non-compliant products reach the market. Major retail distributors require code quality certifications as a prerequisite for supply. Discover our code inspection and verification systems.
