What is EAN-8 used for?
EAN-8 is the short retail barcode, used when a package is physically too small to carry a full EAN-13: cosmetics, confectionery, cigarettes, small cans, and sachets. It carries eight digits instead of thirteen, so the symbol takes noticeably less width on the label.
GS1 issues EAN-8 numbers separately and sparingly, precisely because the shorter number space is limited. Only request one when a full EAN-13 genuinely cannot fit at the minimum print size — otherwise stick with EAN-13.
