1 D UPC BARCODES (UPC A), GENERIC INVENTORY CODES

UPC A

CODE 39

This lined Barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data, which shows certain data on certain products. This type of Barcode can be read with a standard optical scanner or Barcode reader.

GS1 DATABAR STACKED

EAN 13

GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional is designed to condense the GTIN information into a more compact and square barcode suitable for use on smaller packages (such as the labels on fresh produce).

DATA MATRIX CODES & QR CODES

GS1 Data Bar Stacked can only be scanned by an omnidirectional scanner.

A Data Matrix code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode consisting of black and white “ceIIs” or modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. The information to be encoded can be text or raw data. Usual data size is from a few bytes up to 2 kilobytes. The length of the encoded data depends on the symbol dimension used. Error correction codes are added to increase symbol strength: even if they are partially damaged, they can still be read. A Data Matrix symbol can store up to 2,335 alphanumeric characters HARVESTMARK CODES TLC Label Co. is a Certified HarvestMark partner that prints a unique HarvestMark code. When a farmer harvests a crop, or a packer selects product to send to customers, they upload key data to HarvestMark. That information is linked to a unique HarvestMark Code on the label. When you trace the Code at HarvestMark.com, you instantly receive the traceability information on that product, like where it was grown and whether it’s subject to a recall. You can also find out more, like pictures of the farm, or the story behind the farmer, give feedback about the product you purchased, and discover nutrition information, and recipes.
