EAN-13 barcode labels on Zebra printers

Yes. You can print EAN-13 barcode labels on a Zebra for free. EAN-13 is the 13-digit retail barcode, check digit included. Use a number you already own from GS1. We don't issue those numbers. Open the free label maker so the bars stay sharp at 203 or 300 DPI.

EAN-13 vs UPC-A

• UPC-A is the 12-digit North American retail form.
• EAN-13 is 13 digits for international retail. Most store scanners handle both.

Also see UPC product labels and CODE128 for warehouse/SKU use.

How to print EAN-13 barcode labels on a Zebra

1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup.
2. Confirm you own the GTIN or EAN (from GS1 or your brand account). Don't invent numbers for retail claims.
3. Choose size (often 2×1 or 1.5×1) and 203 or 300 DPI. Add a barcode, format EAN-13. Enter digits or {{ean}} for a list.
4. Leave quiet zones. Put human-readable digits under the bars if you need them. Import CSV and print via Browser Print.

Retail design checklist

• Solid black bars; no gray or color
• Correct check digit (invalid EAN will not scan)
• Enough white margin left/right of the symbol
• Test on the same scanner class your customers use
