The details associated with a barcode number are provided by our clients. Typically, this includes company or product names and contact information such as phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses.
A barcode is a way to represent information visually for machines to read. It consists of black and white bars that represent specific characters, following a predefined pattern based on the barcode type. By altering the arrangement of these bars, you create different text. A barcode scanner interprets these patterns into text that your computer can understand.
Depending on the type, 1D barcodes can hold 20-25 characters, while 2D codes can contain up to 2,000 characters. As the amount of information in the barcode increases, so does its size. Typically, 1D barcodes commonly encode 8-15 characters, as more data makes them larger.
A 1D (linear) code is the familiar barcode design resembling a "picket fence." There are various types, some encoding only numbers while others include letters and symbols. All the information is arranged horizontally, and they are read using a barcode scanner. In contrast, 2D barcodes organize data both vertically and horizontally, allowing them to store more information in less space compared to 1D codes. 2D codes need an imager scanner for proper reading.
Most retail stores currently utilize barcode systems, and more are adopting them. To sell your product in retail or online stores like Amazon and Disc Youngster, it's advisable to obtain a barcode. Having a barcode is often a requirement for selling products through these platforms.
