Technical Specifications

Structure GTIN-8 Data Codewords + Error Detection / Checksum + Quiet Zones
Capacity Standard GS1 GTIN-8 data capacity and density
Character Set Compliant with GS1 GTIN-8 specifications
Quiet Zone Requirement ≥ 10x module width (Standard quiet zone)

Common Applications

This standard is widely used in the following industries:

Retail & GTIN, Commercial Logistics, Identification & Tracking
Input Constraints & Parity: This symbology enforces the GS1 / ISO Modulo-10 checksum algorithm (alternating 3x/1x weights). The xBarcode engine automatically validates supplied check digits and can auto-complete missing trailing digits.
