QR Codes – Quick Response (QR) Codes are the 2D barcodes commonly seen on business cards and signs. The primary use for these is to automatically link people to website URLs when they scan the QR Code with a cell phone app scanner; however, they can also be used to create VCards and VCal events, whereupon scanning the barcode with their cell phone, the person will be prompted to either add the encoded contact information to their phone or add the encoded event. Please see our QR Codes page for more details on these.

Code-128 & Code-39 – Both of these formats are used for asset tracking. In each case, a sequence of numbers is created (i.e. 0001-1000). The barcodes can then be used on items such as library cards, gym membership cards, or in large businesses for tracking assets.

Code-39 can encode alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers), whereas Code-128 can only encode numbers. However, Code-128 can encode a larger amount of information in a smaller barcode number. Therefore, if there is little space on your products, then Code-128 may be the better option. Most barcode scanners can read both easily; however, some have difficulty with Code-39 if it has letters encoded.

These types of barcodes are most commonly printed directly onto Barcode Labels before being manually stuck onto each item.
