EAN Standards

Hi-Trans Express supports the use of EAN labels. EAN labels describe products in both standard text and in bar-code form. This system is widely used in the US and Europe.

EAN labelling is considered to be the world’s best practice in supply chain logistics, the barcode identifies the item code (GTIN or Global Trade Item Number), batch or lot number, expiry or best before date and product quantity. A number of major Australian retailers are implementing this system within their own supply chains to improve efficiencies.
