Designed for simple, practical use

What Is a Barcode?

A barcode is a machine-readable representation of information. Traditional one-dimensional (1D) barcodes use patterns of bars and spaces, while two-dimensional (2D) codes such as QR Codes use a grid of modules to represent information.

When a compatible scanner or camera reads a barcode, the encoded value can be passed to another system such as a point-of-sale application, inventory system, shipping workflow, or website.

The important point is that a barcode is a way of representing data; it does not automatically create or register a product number for you. For retail products, identifiers such as UPC-A and EAN-13 may need to come from the appropriate issuing organization.

Barcode Types Supported by BarcodeWeb

Each format is suited to a different kind of data and workflow. Choose the format that matches how the code will be used.

Code 128

1D barcode commonly used for logistics, inventory, shipping, and internal identification.

It is a compact, high-density format that can represent letters and numbers, making it useful when the encoded value is not limited to a retail product number.

EAN-13

1D retail barcode designed around a 13-digit structure and widely used for products in international retail environments.

For commercial products, the number itself should be properly assigned through the relevant identification system before it is printed on packaging.

UPC-A

1D retail barcode commonly associated with products sold through retail systems in the United States and Canada.

UPC-A uses a 12-digit structure. Generating the graphic does not assign an official UPC number.

QR Code

2D code that can encode information such as URLs, text, contact details, and other data that can be read by compatible cameras and scanners.

QR Codes are particularly convenient for mobile users because a phone camera can often scan them directly.

How to Choose the Right Format

Format Best suited to Typical data Type
Code 128 Inventory, logistics, shipping, internal labels Letters and numbers 1D
EAN-13 Retail product identification 13-digit structure 1D
UPC-A Retail product identification 12-digit structure 1D
QR Code Web links, information, mobile interactions Text and other supported data 2D
