Choosing the right barcode type

Use caseType
Retail products sold in shops worldwideEAN-13 (or UPC-A in the US and Canada)

Inventory, SKUs, internal labels, any textCode 128
Industrial and automotive labelsCode 39
Shipping cartonsITF-14

Retail barcodes (EAN and UPC) must be registered with GS1 so your numbers are unique worldwide. Internal barcodes such as Code 128 are free to use for your own stock and documents.

Print tips

  • Keep high contrast: black bars on a white background.
  • Leave quiet zones on the left and right; the margin setting does this.
  • Do not scale the barcode non-proportionally.
  • Print at 300 dpi or higher, and test with your scanner.
