EAN-8, also known as European Article Number 8, UPC-8, GTIN-8, GS1-8, EAN/UCC-8, is the short barcode version of EAN-13 barcode.

C# EAN-8 Generator is one of the functions in OnBarcode's Barcode for .NET Generation Controls, which supports generating & printing EAN-8 and 20+ other linear & 2D bar codes for C# applications.

OnBarcode C# Barcode Generator makes it easy to generate, create EAN-8 and other linear & 2d barcodes in Microsoft Word. Here are some detailed tutorials for C# EAN-8 generation and data encoding, size & image setting.

• Samples for EAN-8 Data Encoding using C#
• Samples for EAN-8 Size Setting using C#
• Samples for EAN-8 Image Setting using C#

Creating EAN-8 barcode in C# class example:
