• Data Matrix is designed to store a large amount of information in a limited space. This high-density matrix barcode uses a square or rectangular pattern of black and white modules, accommodating large amounts of text or numeric information. It is frequently used for product identification, inventory management, and document tracking. The Data Matrix is especially popular for marking small items, as it can encode up to 50 characters while remaining readable at just 2 or 3 square millimeters.

 

• PDF417 is a two-dimensional composite barcode capable of storing extensive data. It consists of several linear barcodes stacked vertically, with each line containing a specific number of code words representing the encoded data. Composite barcodes are commonly used in applications that require significant data storage, such as ID cards, driving licenses, and shipping labels.

 

• QR Code is a two-dimensional barcode that can be scanned with smartphones or QR code readers, providing quick access to information or content. It consists of a pattern of black and white squares and can store various types of information, including website URLs, text, and contact details. QR codes have gained popularity in recent years, especially in marketing and advertising, offering a convenient way to connect customers to specific websites or promotions.

• EAN-8 is a linear barcode commonly used for small products and packaging. It consists of 8 digits and encodes product identification information, including the manufacturer and product number. This barcode is designed for worldwide scanner readability and features a country code indicating the country of origin. EAN-8 serves as a space-saving alternative to the larger EAN-13 format when necessary.

 

• GS1 DataBar is a specific type of linear barcode developed by the international organization GS1. It is designed to encode various types of product information, including the unique number (GTIN), weight, expiration date, and batch number. This barcode is compact and versatile, making it ideal for labeling small or variable products, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat. The GS1 DataBar is widely used in retail, healthcare, and other industries for inventory tracking, product identification, and supply chain management.

 

• ITF is GS1's implementation of the Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) barcode, encoding a global trade item number. ITF-14 characters are typically used at the packaging level, such as for cases containing 24 cans of soup. ITF-14 will always encode 14 digits.

 

• UPC-A is a widely used linear barcode for product identification in retail, especially in North America. This 12-digit symbology encodes product information, such as manufacturer and product number, and is typically found on product packaging. It may also encode additional product data, including price, weight, and expiration date.

 

• UPC-E is a condensed version of the UPC barcode, commonly utilized for labeling small retail items.
