How to create linear and 2D barcode symbologies Barcodes are the machine readable symbols used to represent the identity of product on which they are attached. They are only readable by machine called scanner and are non-readable by human through naked eyes.

Barcodes are classifieds into two types known as linear barcode and 2D barcodes. Linear barcode are those which represent information in form of lines and there data handling capacity is small then 2D barcodes on the other hand 2D barcodes represent information in form of lines, rectangle, circle etc, data handling capacity of 2D barcodes are much high then that of linear barcode.

This is encoding in 13-digit number which is divided in five parts separated by a hyphen or a space. First part containing three digits is European article number for giving a code to product; the second part is group identifier containing a single digit containing the country code. Third part is assign to encode publisher’s details uses six digits; Fourth part is for title given to product occupies two digits and the last part containing a check digit.
