What is a barcode?

A barcode is a graphic representation of data. What does that mean? It’s just turning a number (like 123456) into an image.

 

123456 =

 

Almost any kind of data can be stored in a barcode, including:

• A product UPC code
• An item number
• A serial number
• A warehouse location
• A physical address
• A URL

 

You can read a barcode label using a barcode scanner. The data from the barcode is instantly sent to your open PC application, so data is always error-free and doesn’t have to be typed manually.

 

 

Barcodes are used in applications like document tracking, shipping and receiving, inventory control, IT asset tracking and fixed asset tracking.

 

Barcodes can be linear (1D) or 2D. Linear barcodes are perfect for storing 12 or fewer characters. Use a 2D barcode if you need to store more information than this – like an address, prescription, or flight information.

Linear barcode

2D barcode   You can store more data in the 2D barcode, without taking up more space.

 

 

Choosing a Barcode Symbology

The symbology of a barcode is the way the lines and spaces are patterned together. If your business is new to barcoding, we recommend using Code 128. Our free barcode generator offers the following linear symbologies:

Code 3 of 9 Standard (Also called Code 39)
Code 39 Standard is the most commonly used barcode. Use Code 39 to store any of the 43 standard alphanumeric characters, including capital letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, and some punctuation. 

 

Code 128
Code 128 is the most easily read barcode and can be used to store any alphanumeric characters. If you are considering using barcodes in your company, Code 128 is a good choice.
