Dear Barcodes Ghana, What is the difference between UPC-A and EAN barcodes and does Barcodes Solutions Ghana supply both?

Dear Elsabeth
Yes. The US and Canada use a twelve digit barcode system called UPC-A. Everywhere else in the world, including Southen Africa, uses a system called EAN. The two systems differ by one digit; with the UPC-A using 12 and the EAN using 13. We supply both versions with your order so that you may use your barcodes anywhere in the world. Modern barcode scanners read both EAN and UPC barcode numbers, so it’s really up to you and the stores you will be supplying which version you want to use.
Thank you for contacting Barcodes Solutions.
