Bar coding & EAN Numbering

Label design consideration

Special considerations have to be taken while using bar codes on transparent product packing.

Bar code scanners cannot read the symbol if the product is transparent, such as in clear plastic containers. The solution is to ensure the symbol is printed on an opaque background.

Recommended color scheme for bar codes are:
Bars :- Black, blue, green and dark brown
Background colors :- White, yellow, orange and red

Black and white gives the best contrast level.

Color chart and symbol size guage is available with GS1. If you require it, please contact us at info@eanindia.com.
