Choose the type of barcode to be used:

  • QR Code: A 2D barcode that can store various types of data, including URLs, text, and contact information.

  • Code 39 A linear barcode that supports alphanumeric characters and a limited set of symbols. Often used in industrial and logistics applications.

    Example: A warehouse might use Code 39 to encode a product identifier like A1234B5678.

  • Code 128: A high-density linear barcode that supports alphanumeric characters and special characters. Used in applications requiring high data capacity.

    Example: A shipping label might use Code 128 to encode a shipping number such as 123456789012.

  • Code 93: An enhanced version of Code 39 that offers higher density and includes additional characters. Used for compact data encoding.

    Example: A Code 93 to encode a book's ISBN number like 978-3-16-148410-0.
