Frequently Asked Questions

Can I encode information in a bar code such as colour or size ?

EAN states that "each variant of a product (e.g. colour, style, size, etc.) should be assigned a separate, unique 13-digit GS1 number". The GS1 system is based on the non-significance of the numbers. In addition, it is recommended to allocate the numbers serially, in a non-significant way. The colour or size are descriptive information which are attributes of the GS1 identification number in databases.

What size do I make a bar code?

When selecting a bar code wand, what aperture size do I need?

FAQ - Hand Held Products
The aperture is essentially the eye of the optical system. When selecting a wand, the aperture size should be 80% of the smallest element width (x-dimension). A good rule of thumb is to use the next smallest size as compared to the x-dimension of your bar code. Example: a 6 mil aperture size is proportionately correct for a quality printed 7.5 mil bar code. Our products support a variety of different terminals and PCs.
