An SGTIN EPC identifier can therefore be constructed by combining the resulting GTIN with a unique serial number and following the ...
An example of an EAN-8 barcode. An EAN-8 is an EAN/UPC symbology barcode and is derived from the longer International Article Number (EAN-13) code. [1] It was introduced for use on small packages where an EAN-13 barcode would be too large; for example on cigarettes, pencils, and chewing gum packets.
