Types of Barcode
One-Dimensional (1D) Barcode Types
1D barcodes represent data by changing the widths and spacing of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear. These include some or most well recognized barcode types such as the UPC and EAN code types.
1. UPC CODE: UPC barcodes are used to label and scan consumer articles at points-of-sale around the world, mainly in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. The UPC-A changing encodes 12 numerical digits while UPC-E is a smaller variation, which encodes only 6 numerical digits.
2. GS1 DATABAR: GS1 Data Bar barcodes are used by retail outlets to identify consumer coupons, produce as well as small articles in the healthcare industry. They are smaller than typical consumer-facing barcodes. GS1 Data Bar was introduced in 2001 and became the mandated barcode type for retail coupons in the US.
Two-Dimensional (2D) Barcode Type:-
Two-dimensional, or 2D barcodes, represent data using two-dimensional symbols and shapes. They are similar to a linear 1D barcode but can represent more data per unit area.

- Barcodes are cheaper to design and print. They can be designed economically in a variety of finishes and materials.
- Barcodes are extremely good. They can be used for any kind of necessary data collection. This could include pricing or evolutionary information.
- Evolutionary control improves. Because barcodes make it possible to track inventory so precisely, inventory levels can be decreased. This translates into a lower overheard.
- Barcodes give better data. Since one barcode can be used for inventory and pricing information, it is possible to quickly obtain data on both.
- Data obtained through a barcode is available vastly. Since the information is scanned directly into the central computer, it is ready almost instantaneously.
