VeryPDF Barcode Scanner SDK is designed for developers, built for users. VeryPDF Barcode Scanner SDK gives you enterprise-level features without big development effort. Here is the full list of barcode types and their categories, followed by a description of how VeryPDF Barcode SDK supports them:
1. One-Dimensional Barcodes (1D Barcodes)
1D barcodes use different widths of vertical lines to encode information. They are commonly used in retail, logistics, and tracking systems.
- UPC (Universal Product Code): The most common retail barcode, used for labeling products in supermarkets.
- EAN (European Article Number): Similar to UPC, widely used globally for product identification.
- Code 39: Often used in the automotive, healthcare, and military industries to identify parts and equipment.
- Code 128: Encodes the full ASCII character set and is frequently used in logistics and transportation.
- Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF): Used in packaging, warehousing, and distribution applications.
- POSTNET: Used by the United States Postal Service for zip code encoding.
- Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB): A USPS barcode that combines postal routing and tracking information for mail sorting and delivery.
- MSI (Modified Plessey): Typically used in inventory control and warehouse management.
- Codabar: Common in libraries, blood banks, and logistics.
- Code 93: A more compact and secure version of Code 39, used in similar applications like logistics and healthcare.
2. Two-Dimensional Barcodes (2D Barcodes)
2D barcodes store more complex data, including alphanumeric characters, URLs, and even images, and are used in a variety of industries.
- QR Code (Quick Response Code): Widely used in payment systems, website links, marketing, and more.
- Data Matrix: A small-sized barcode capable of encoding large amounts of data, commonly used on electronics, pharmaceutical products, and labels.
- PDF417: Used in government-issued identification cards, airline boarding passes, and shipping labels. It supports encoding large amounts of text and binary data.
- Aztec Code: Often used in transportation systems like train and airline tickets due to its reliability in being scanned from mobile devices.
- MaxiCode: Used by UPS and other logistics companies for high-speed scanning and package tracking.
- Han Xin Code: Used for Chinese character encoding and information tracking in Chinese-speaking regions.
- Micro QR Code: A smaller version of QR Code, suitable for limited space applications.
- GS1 DataBar: Used in retail to encode additional information like product expiration dates, serial numbers, and weights.
3. Stacked Barcodes
Stacked barcodes combine several 1D barcodes to create a 2D structure, allowing for greater data capacity.
- PDF417: As mentioned, used for identification cards, forms, and documents.
- Code 49: An early form of stacked barcode, used in logistics and packaging.
- Code 16K: Similar to Code 49, allowing the encoding of alphanumeric characters.
- MicroPDF417: A more compact version of PDF417, used in applications with space constraints.
4. Specialty Barcodes
Specialty barcodes are designed for specific industries or unique applications.
- Pharmacode: Used in the pharmaceutical industry to encode information about drug packaging.
- Plessey Code: Originally used in libraries and retail applications.
- Telepen: Encodes full ASCII without requiring start or stop characters, often used in library and document tracking.
- HIBC (Health Industry Barcode): Used in healthcare settings to track medical products and equipment.
