Can I shorten my EAN-13 number to make this?

No. GTIN-8 is a separate product identifier, not the last eight digits of a GTIN-13. Use ordinary EAN-8 if you only need that product number. This generator does not issue identifiers or register products; test the complete composite label with the intended scanner.

How do I check the code before printing?

Leave the white margins intact, keep the image in proportion and scan a sample at its final printed size with the device you intend to use.

Product and serial data in EAN-8 Composite

EAN-8 Composite adds a 2D component above an EAN-8 product barcode for extra GS1 fields, such as a serial number. The tool generates the complete symbol, not just its upper part. Use an assigned GTIN-8 and check that the receiving system accepts this composite format.

Download PNG for documents or SVG for a sharp, resizable print layout. Generation takes place in your browser, without an account.
