Barcode: The perfect way to label your products
A barcode is informative data that is printed on products; it is an optical machine readable code used universally. Such codes help machines in identifying items uniquely and also have information relevant to the product that they are associated with. Labeling items in this manner is of great help in various industrial sectors like warehousing, retail, merchandise inventory, shipping, shop check out counters and several other such commercial industries.
The labeling of items can be done using different kinds of barcode font. Barcode font is basically different barcode symbology which can be used to represent the various English alphabets and other special characters and punctuations that are used in the English language. Barcode generators that generate barcode are capable of using up to 35 barcode fonts. Such a varied choice can help in making barcode exceptionally informative as almost all alphanumeric and other special characters can be represented thereby making the data in the barcode comprehensive.
Barcode font at its inception was a linear set of lines varying in their size and density. However, with time the barcode has evolved into 2D sets of rectangles, hexagons, dots and other such symbols which are able to comprehensively depict all information. Some of the more important of the various barcode font include Code 11 which is a linear font that can depict numbers from 0 to 9 and start and stop characters. If you find this too restricting then Code 128 which can depict alphanumeric characters, numbers and ASCII characters can serve the purpose. The choice of barcode font to be used is a highly individual one and should be done after suitably weighing all your requirements.
How to barcode was a universal question which was a little elusive until recently. However, modern generators can easily create and print barcodes on papers. These are software applications that are available easily on the net. The usage of these applications is fairly simple and intuitive and there are barcode videos also available on the internet, which further assist with the process of barcode generation. The choices available as far as the font, text size, color, layout, barcode design and a number of other options make customizing the barcodes a breeze. Go ahead and generate the perfect barcode that matches all your needs with minimum hassle and very little cost to your company.
There are several other functionalities that are offered by the applications that generate barcodes. It is possible to print multiple barcodes on the same paper while changing the layout allows you to print barcodes on wrist bands, coupons and other such products which have a unique space constraint. The resolution of the barcode labels is very high thereby making them very clear and easy to read. These can also be exported to text applications and can be reedited or saved for future use.
The versatility of barcode generating devices is amazing and allows constant or continuous codes to be generated with very little effort and printed in the style that you want them to be.
