Barcode labels can be used for a number of different purposes, including product identification, stock control, asset tracking, traceability and warranty guarantee requirements. There are different barcodes used for different applications and requirements:
Code 39 barcode:
This is considered as a self-checking barcode, eliminating the need to check character calculations. This barcode is widely used, mainly in industrial, government and defence applications. These barcodes can be decoded with virtually any barcode reader. Code 39 barcode symbol consist of symbols representing numbers 0-9, upper class letters A-Z.
Code 128 barcode:
The 128 barcode encodes text and numbers and is used for several implementations, such as shipping and electronics. The 128 barcode contains 106 printing patterns, each having different meanings, depending on characters.
Interleave 2 of 5 barcode:
This barcode is used mainly for warehouse and distribution. This barcode is used to encode pairs of numbers into self-checking, high- destiny barcode format. Every two digits on the barcode are interleaved with each other, creating a single symbol.
EAN13 – EAN8 barcodes:
These barcode labels are commonly used for products within retail stores, such as food, clothes, books etc. The difference between these two labels is the amount of digits each barcode holds. The last digits on the EAN13 barcodes normally represent a country code. Both of these barcodes support a supplemental two or five digit number, to be used on the main barcode symbol.
