When you buy a product that is packaged in accordance with national and international standards, you will definitely see a blue or black stripe and a white surface with no less than 10 digits on the packaging.

Barcode usage in Cambodia

The stripe is a barcode system that is highlighted to indicate the origin of any product. By using a machine or barcode scanner for a product, we will know where the product is manufactured and / or packaged, and which enterprise or company is the manufacturer or packaging? In addition, through this barcode system, retailers can enter data of the selling price of the product to facilitate the sale of goods.

This barcode system provides many other benefits, including:

• Reduce errors and other risks in the production chain
• Increase management efficiency in the production chain
• Standardize products
• Easy to export
• Easily manage inventory
• Make company-to-company communication easier and better
• One standard for production partners
