Frequently Asked Questions

What is a barcode?

A barcode is a machine-readable code that consists of numbers and a pattern of parallel lines of varying widths. It is widely used for identifying and tracking products and assets in numerous applications such as retail, logistics, and inventory management. For example, in a retail setting, cashiers can quickly identify products and process transactions by scanning the barcode on items, eliminating the need for manual entry of each product's details.

What types of barcodes can Bulk Barcode Generator create?

Bulk Barcode Generator supports the following types of barcodes:

  • CODE128: A high-density linear barcode symbology capable of encoding all 128 ASCII characters, supporting three character sets (A, B, and C). It is commonly used in logistics, transportation, inventory, and tracking systems where high data density and compact barcodes are needed.
  • EAN/UPC: Linear barcode symbologies used primarily for product identification in retail. EAN-13 codes contain 13 digits, while UPC-A codes contain 12 digits, both including a mandatory check digit. EAN codes are used globally, whereas UPC codes are predominantly used in North America.
  • CODE39: An alphanumeric barcode symbology that can encode 43 characters (0-9, A-Z, space, and special characters), with variable length. It is commonly used in industrial and non-retail applications, government, and military sectors for encoding IDs, inventory numbers, and part numbers.
  • ITF-14: A linear barcode symbology that encodes 14 digits using Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) encoding. It is used for marking cartons and shipping containers in logistics and warehousing operations.
  • MSI: A numeric barcode symbology with variable length that often includes a check digit for error detection. It is primarily used in warehouse shelving inventory management and labeling of storage devices.
  • Pharmacode: A linear barcode symbology that encodes only numeric data (0-9) and can represent numbers up to six digits long. It is used in the pharmaceutical industry for identifying medications and ensuring correct product packaging.
  • Codabar: A numeric barcode symbology (0-9) that can also encode six special characters (-$:/.+), with variable length. It is used in libraries, blood banks, air parcel services, inventory, and logistics, suitable for simple, low-density applications.

Can I use the generated barcodes for commercial purposes?

Yes, all barcodes generated by Bulk Barcode Generator are free and can be used for any commercial purposes. This means you can utilize the generated barcodes in your business operations without incurring additional costs.

Do the generated barcodes expire?

No, the barcodes generated are static and do not expire. Once created, they remain valid indefinitely, though their content cannot be edited afterward.

Is there a scan limit for the barcodes?

No, there is no scan limit. The generated barcodes can be scanned an unlimited number of times, provided they remain clear and undamaged.

My barcode is not working. What can I do?

There could be several reasons why a barcode is not working:

  • Check for typos in the encoded data: Ensure the data encoded in the barcode is accurate.
  • Ensure the barcode is printed clearly without any smudges or distortions: The barcode must be legible and free from any blemishes or damage, otherwise, scanners may fail to read it correctly.
  • Verify the scanner is compatible with the type of barcode you are using: Different scanners support different types of barcodes, so make sure your scanner is compatible with the barcode type you are using.

Can I customize the design and colors of my barcode?

Certainly! You have the flexibility to personalize the colors and adjust the size of your barcode. You can also modify the font and color of the display text to fit your branding or personal preferences.

How can I ensure the best print quality for my barcode?

To achieve the best print quality, set the pixel size to the highest resolution when creating your barcode and download it in a high-quality format. The .svg format is recommended for maintaining design settings and compatibility with most vector graphic software. Additionally, ensure you use a high-quality printer and paper to prevent blurring or printing errors.
