Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Code 128 and EAN-13?
Code 128 encodes alphanumeric data and is used in logistics labels. EAN-13 is a fixed 13-digit format used for retail product barcodes worldwide.
What barcode format should I use for retail products?
Use EAN-13 for products sold in stores with point-of-sale scanners. In the US, UPC-A is the standard equivalent.
What minimum size is needed for a scannable barcode?
Print barcodes at a minimum height of 1.5 cm. Too small a barcode may fail to scan in poor lighting conditions.
