Barcode Labeling – Getting Started

Barcode labeling is everywhere. Barcodes are everywhere! Supermarket products, library books, packages, and smartphone screens. Many forms of barcode languages, or symbologies, can be found in barcode labeling. That number continues to increase as technology becomes more sophisticated. Through barcoding’s evolution, symbologies were purposefully designed for solving particular problems, sometimes each uniquely linked to specific industries.

Barcodes follow a standard rule-of-thumb: Simplification. By reducing human, handwritten error, they encode and transfer data seamlessly without the hassle. Combined with a label’s applicability, barcodes can be used virtually anywhere.
