Best choice of bar code format
Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:19 pm
We do not intend to use bar codes for about 12mths for stocktakes etc but wish to ensure we are using the best system now to avoid having to reprint price labels again later. I have read your info re Bar code symbologies but am not certain which one is best to select.
There does not appear to be an industry standard (yet) and we mainly use numbers but may need to use alpha as well in the future. We do not even have a scanner yet but looking fwd do not want to print the wrong system.
Price labels are approx 62mm X 90mm printed in landscape and possible most systems could fit on tags. Not sure if we would ever use bar code on orders etc but if we can keep options wide as possible would be good.
