EAN

EAN, or European Article Number, is a standardized barcode system used worldwide to uniquely identify products. It consists of a series of digits encoded in a scannable barcode that provides information about the product, such as manufacturer and item number. This system helps retailers, suppliers, and inventory managers track and manage products efficiently, ensuring accurate checkout, stock management, and supply chain operations. EANs are most commonly seen on retail packaging and are essential for smooth logistics and sales processes in global commerce.
