EAN-8

Kind Charset Capacity URL Phone
1D linear Digits only 7-8 digits No No*

Compact retail barcode for small products. Give it 7 digits and the check digit is computed; give it 8 and the check digit is validated.

Example

55123457 
Ean8::create('5512345')->render();

Usage

use Atelier\Barcode\Ean8;

echo Ean8::create('5512345')
    ->scale(2)
    ->height(72)
    ->render();

Options

Method Default Description
scale(int) 2 pixels per module
height(int) 72 bar height in pixels
margin(int) 7 quiet zone, in modules
foreground(string) #000000 bar color
background(string) #ffffff background color
withText(bool) true show the human-readable value

modules() returns the raw bar pattern. value() returns the full 8-digit code.

withText(false) drops the human-readable line. The digits are still encoded; only the fallback for a human reading them out loud is gone.

Limits

  • Exactly 7 or 8 digits, nothing else: throws InvalidCodeException otherwise.
  • If 8 digits are given, the 8th must be the correct check digit.

EAN-8 has no phone-number semantics; it is digits-only product identification.
