The EAN-8 Composite barcode belongs to the GS1 & GS1 Composite family. EAN-8 + 2D component. On this page you can generate EAN-8 Composite barcodes directly in your browser: enter your data, watch the preview update in real time, then download the finished symbol as PNG or SVG. Rendering happens locally on your device — nothing you type is ever uploaded to a server.
GS1 barcodes combine application identifiers (AIs), written in parentheses, with the data itself, so a single symbol can carry a GTIN plus batch numbers, expiry dates, weights, and more. Composite variants add a 2D layer on top of the linear code to hold that extra data while staying compatible with existing retail scanners.
EAN-8 Composite codes are used for shipping labels, logistics units, healthcare products, and any GS1-labelled trade item. Because the data is fixed inside the symbol at generation time, a printed EAN-8 Composite barcode keeps working indefinitely — there is no service behind it, no expiry date, and no per-scan fee.
1234567|(10)BATCH123Yes. You can generate and download EAN-8 Composite barcodes for free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Generation runs entirely in your browser — your data is never uploaded.
linear|(AI) composite (| separator). For example: 1234567|(10)BATCH123. If your data does not match the expected format, the encoder will show an error instead of producing a symbol that cannot scan.
PNG for screens and documents, and SVG for unlimited-quality print and design work. Both formats are rendered locally in your browser.
No. The barcode is a fixed image of the data you entered — it keeps scanning for as long as the print or display lasts. If your data changes, simply generate a new barcode.
