EAN-5 for book and publication pricing

Publishers and booksellers printing a price add-on alongside an ISBN barcode use this generator seeded with a book-pricing-style value.

Same generator, no special configuration

This experience uses the same EAN-5 capability as the primary generator, with no separate options applied for this use case yet.

Example data

The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid 5-digit value, distinct from the primary's example.

Workflow

Enter your 5-digit price or weight value, then export SVG and place it beside your primary ISBN/EAN-13/UPC-A barcode.

Job-specific settings

No job-specific options are applied here.

Scanning notes

Keep the add-on symbol's own quiet zone and its placement gap from the primary barcode intact -- scanners expect the two symbols in a fixed relative position.

Common mistakes

Supplying anything other than exactly 5 digits is the most common rejection.

Standard

EAN-5 is documented in the bwip-js/BWIPP symbology reference.
