## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| back-label | identity | unknown | The barcode digits are not legible in the only photo; the label is tied to this GTIN by the Open Food Facts upload and by retailer listings that print the GTIN. | ^off-photo |
| | identity | disputed | Amazon.fr and Amazon.co.uk give the brand as Helix and Amazon.fr the manufacturer as Helix Office and Stationery; the pack is signed Maped and names MAPED SAS as manufacturer. | ^amazon-fr |
| | relationships | unknown | No source names the GS1 licensee; the company prefix length under 315 is unknown, so no prefix was added to company/maped. | |
| back-label | relationships | unknown | Brazilian importer name and CNPJ are cropped (Maped do … Ltda.); the Argentine block's role word is cropped; US, Canada and Romania blocks state no role, so no relation rows were added. | ^off-photo |
| | packaging | unknown | Pack format not confirmed: retailer titles call it a blister but those pages (Cora, megastorexpress) could not be read. | |
| | markets | unknown | Open Food Facts countries_tags list Australia and Portugal; these are contributor claims with no listing found. | ^off |
| | evidence | stale | In December 2025 Maped announced a plan to close its Argonay eraser and compass plant; later packs may no longer be made in France. | ^wp-maped |
| | images | unknown | No licensed front photo found; only the back label photo exists on Open Food Facts. | |

## About <!--about-->
Maped Mini Softy is a pack of three small white plastic erasers, each in a cardboard sleeve, sold under reference 012403.[^off-photo][^leclerc] It is made by Maped, a family-owned French maker of school and office supplies headquartered in Argonay, Haute-Savoie.[^wp-maped][^sirene] The multi-language back label says the erasers are made in France and names Maped importers for Mexico, Peru, Russia, Turkey and India.[^off-photo] French retailers describe the eraser as phthalate-free, with a soft texture and a mini format for pencil cases.[^houra][^leclerc] In September 2026 Houra and E.Leclerc listed it in France, and Amazon listed it in France and the United Kingdom, each printing this barcode.[^houra][^amazon-uk]
The barcode was first catalogued on the original Barcodepedia in 2006 as "Maped MiniSofty Eraser 2+1 free".[^archive] In December 2025 Maped announced a plan to close its Argonay plant, which makes erasers and compasses.[^wp-maped]
