What is an EAN-13 barcode?
EAN-13 (European Article Number) is the standard 13-digit barcode used on retail products worldwide — including Amazon, Flipkart, and supermarket shelves. The first 3 digits represent the country prefix (890 for India), followed by a manufacturer code, product code, and check digit.
Can I use a free barcode generator for Amazon India?
Yes — if you already have a GS1 barcode number, you can use this tool to generate the barcode image from that number for free. If you need a globally unique barcode number for Amazon, you must purchase one from GS1 India. This tool generates the image for any number you provide.
What is the difference between EAN-13 and CODE128?
EAN-13 is numeric only (digits 0-9) and is the standard for retail consumer products. CODE128 supports letters, numbers, and symbols — it's used for batch numbers, internal SKU codes, warehouse labels, and shipping labels where alphanumeric data is needed.
What resolution is the downloaded barcode?
All barcodes are generated at 3× pixel density for high-resolution printing. The PNG download uses lossless compression — ideal for print. JPG uses 97% quality. Both are suitable for labels, packaging, and stickers.
What is EAN-8?
EAN-8 is a compact version of EAN-13, using only 8 digits. It's used on small packaging where a full EAN-13 barcode would be too large — such as spice sachets, small pouches, and tiny product labels.
How do I put this barcode on my product label?
Download the barcode as PNG and place it in your label design in Canva, Photoshop, or any design tool. For bulk label generation across 100s of products with different barcodes, use PouchCraft — upload your template, map your EAN column from a CSV, and all barcodes auto-generate.
What is Code 128 (CODE128) barcode?
CODE128 is a high-density barcode that supports letters, numbers, and symbols (full ASCII). It is commonly used for batch numbers, internal SKU codes, warehouse labels, and shipping labels where alphanumeric data is needed — unlike EAN-13 or EAN-8 which only support digits.
