What is a Barcode?

A barcode is a machine-readable symbol composed of parallel lines and numeric digits that store product information—such as batch numbers, serial numbers, and pricing—facilitating quick data retrieval across industries.

Types of Barcodes

1. EAN-13 (13 digits; global retail standard) 2. UPC-A (12 digits; used in USA/UK/Australia) Other industry types include Code 93, Code 39, GS1 Databar, Code 128, and ITF.
