The GS1 DataBar symbology is the newest Bar Code type for space-constrained identification from GS1.

Data Bar Bar Codes have been identified to solve many problems in POS, grocery and healthcare, where items are too small for the larger older Bar Code symbologies, or if additional information needs to be encoded such as weight, expiration, country of origin or serial numbers. Data Bar used to be known as RSS or Reduced Space Symbology, but was changed to avoid confusion with RSS feeds.

How do you get a barcode?

If you need to get a UPC (Universal Product Code) now known as GS1 for the purpose of selling your items in a retail Establishment that demand it, then you will need to register with GS1 and get the bar codes from them. Other bar codes are very simple to get. Lets assume you need to get a bar code for your product ID. Use any label design program (I recommend NiceLabel Evaluation Software), simply choose the TYPE of bar code you want and give it the information you want to convert to bar code, such as Product ID and the software will do the rest. It will automatically generate the correct format of the bar code you need.

There isn't a specific "font" that creates all different types of bar codes, but IDAutomation has created a Universal Bar Code Font, which will generate multiple bar code types from a single font. It will create Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 39, MSI, Codabar, Postnet, Planet, Intelligent Mail and GS1-128. They have a demo you can test, but URLs are not allowed in the Answer Field here at WikiAnswers. Sorry.


What are the first three numbers in an Australian bar code?

930 - 939 is the short answer. The long answer is:GS1 Prefixes do not provide identification of country of origin for a given product. They simply provide number capacity to different countries for assignment from that location to companies who apply. Those companies in turn may manufacture products anywhere in the world.The management of the GS1 System is carried out locally by GS1 Member Organizations established in over 100 countries. GS1 Member Organizations use their assigned prefix to allocate GS1 Company Prefixes to their member companies to enable them to create GS1 Identification Keys.

How can I put a bar code onto my product?

If you are selling over 1,000 of your product, it will be best to work through the GS1 organization. Follow these steps: http://www.gs1.org/barcodes/implementation Otherwise, there are vendors which sell surplus bar codes, and would be cheaper to go through for smaller batches of products.

Is there a body that oversees bar codes?

Product bar codes, more formally knows as Universal Product Codes (UPC) are added to product to allow scanning at a point-of-sale terminal. Most large retailers will not accept products for sale unless there is a UPC attached. If you have a large number products needing bar codes, register your company directly with GS1, the worldwide standards authority which governs product bar codes. For smaller quantities of products, it is more economical to use one of the many companies which are registered with GS1 and will transfer one of their assigned numbers to your product.

It depends on at which place you want to sell your product. You want to sell your product on Amazon then you will have to get a barcode for even home made products.
