Generate →
Code 39 is widely used in a variety of industries and is part of many governmental specifications. It encodes a set of alphanumeric symbols.
Generate →
As opposed to Code 39, Extended Code 39 includes a full set of ASCII characters. However, it is less used than Code 39 as it requires specific decoding.
Generate →
EAN-13 and EAN-8, the retail codes on products sold worldwide, plus the 2 and 5 digit add-ons printed beside them on magazines and books. Type 12 digits for EAN-13, 7 for EAN-8, or 2 or 5 for an add-on.
Generate →
EAN-13 from its first 12 digits: the generator works out the 13th, the check digit, so the barcode always scans as a valid number.

EAN-14 or UCC-14 is a standard Code to identify shipping containers. It is based on Code 128 system, where the Application Identifier (the first two digits) is set to 01.
Generate →
Telepen Alpha encodes the full 128-character ASCII set. It is used mainly by universities and academic libraries in the UK.
Generate →
Telepen Numeric packs two digits into each character, so numbers take about half the space of Telepen Alpha. Used on library and ID cards, for inventory and on tickets.
Generate →
The plain 2 of 5 code: digits only, each in five bars of which two are wide. The spaces carry no data, so it needs more room than Interleaved 2 of 5.
Generate →
Digits in pairs: one digit in the bars and the next in the spaces, which keeps it compact. It needs an even number of digits (an odd count gets a leading zero) and is the code inside ITF-14 on cartons.
Generate →

Generate →
A compact GTIN barcode for small items, read by linear scanners; the GTIN must start with 0 or 1.
Generate →
GS1 data beyond the GTIN, such as weight, price, expiry or batch, written as Application Identifiers like [01] and [17]. Common on variable-weight fresh food and coupons.
Generate →
Composite barcodes combine a 1D linear barcode with a 2D barcode (like DataMatrix or PDF417). They are widely used in industries requiring both large data capacity and compatibility with traditional 1D scanners, such as logistics, shipping, and healthcare.
