Common Barcode Types

Learn the encoding characteristics and use cases of different barcode formats.

Code 128

High-density 1D barcode supporting the full ASCII character set, ideal for logistics and warehousing.

Code 39

Simple, easily readable 1D barcode widely used in industry, warehousing and asset management.

QR Code

2D matrix code with large capacity and error correction, suitable for URLs, payments and traceability.

Barcode Knowledge

Understand barcode technology from basic concepts to encoding principles.

What is a barcode?

A barcode is a graphical mark that encodes data into a pattern of bars and spaces. It is a common information carrier in retail, logistics, warehousing and manufacturing.

1D vs 2D barcodes

1D barcodes encode data only in the horizontal direction and have limited capacity. 2D barcodes encode in both directions, offering larger capacity and error correction.

Code 128 encoding basics

Code 128 achieves high-density encoding through multiple code sets and supports the full ASCII character set, commonly used in logistics labels.

Quiet zones and readability

Quiet zones are blank areas on both sides of a barcode symbol that help scanners locate the boundaries. Insufficient quiet zones significantly reduce scan success rates.

FAQ

Common questions about barcodes and this website.

What is a barcode?
A barcode is a graphical mark that encodes data into a pattern of bars and spaces, which scanning devices read and convert back into numbers or characters.
What is the difference between Code 128 and Code 39?
Code 128 has higher data density and supports the full ASCII character set, suitable for longer data. Code 39 is simpler with a limited character set but is easy to print and read, commonly used in industry and warehousing.
What is the difference between 1D barcodes and 2D codes?
1D barcodes encode only horizontally with limited capacity. 2D codes encode in both directions, offering larger capacity and error correction, and can store URLs, text and more.
How do I choose the barcode size?
Barcode size depends on scanning distance, print resolution and label space. Too small may cause scan failures; too large wastes label area. Refer to the relevant barcode standard and scanner specifications.
Why might a barcode fail to scan?
Common reasons include blurry printing, insufficient quiet zones, low contrast, distortion, incorrect scanner settings or content outside the format's supported range.
What is a barcode quiet zone?
The quiet zone is the blank area on both sides of a barcode symbol, helping scanners locate the boundaries. Insufficient quiet zones can cause read failures.
Does this website currently support actual barcode generation?
The current version mainly provides the website interface and barcode generator form placeholder. Actual barcode generation and batch processing are not yet implemented. The form target barcodesoutput.asp requires classic ASP enabled on IIS and an integrated generation module to work.
