YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: According to the chairman of Armenian
goods coding IEN Armenia Pap Aslanian, 9 percent increase is reported
in companies using goods codes as compared to 2003. If only 95
companies received “485” linear codes in 2001, today their number

To make coding more affordable for small scale companies, IEN Armenia

of employees. This initiation has increased the number of small scale
companies asking for codes.
In Yerevan the number of shops using code reading machines has
increased. Twenty more shops use such machines now.
