Which barcode format should I choose?

Choose the barcode standard required by the product label, retailer, inventory system, or scanner. The same number can produce different barcode patterns in different formats.

Code 128

Good general-purpose choice for alphanumeric labels, parcels, and internal inventory. It is not a substitute for a registered retail product identifier.

EAN-13, EAN-8 & UPC

Retail formats for product identifiers. Use the number assigned to your product; a barcode image does not register a number or guarantee retailer acceptance.

ITF-14

Commonly used on outer cases and cartons. Confirm packaging requirements with your distributor or trading partner.

PDF417 & Data Matrix

Two-dimensional formats that hold more data in less space. Test size, contrast, and scanner compatibility before use.

For a phone-friendly link, Wi-Fi network, contact card, or payment request, use the QR code generator. QR codes and traditional barcodes are designed for different jobs.

BARCODE BASICS

Make barcodes that scan reliably

1

Pick the required standard

Check the exact format and identifier length required by your retailer or software.

2

Keep strong contrast

Dark bars on a light background are the safest choice. Avoid gradients and transparent backgrounds.

3

Leave clear space

Keep the quiet zone around the edges free of text, borders, and artwork.

4

Test the final print

Scan a printed sample at its actual size with the scanner and conditions you will use.
