Overview
Template 2 provides machine readability. You can pair this label with a second label to add human-readable text, for example, template 3 or 5.
Specs
Maximum data: 24 numerals or 12 alpha characters (The maximum alphanumeric length depends on the character mix.)
Note: Higher data density for numerals is achieved because they are encoded in pairs. So, a number with 23 numerals will not fit.
Design features
• Code 128 is very common and offers good data density for this size label.
• The narrow bar width gives good readability and accommodates a good amount of data.
• The left blank margin is 1.27-mm (0.05-in) wider than the minimum required quiet zone of 10 times the narrow bar width.
• The blank margin to the right of the barcode will vary depending on the amount of data encoded. The example shows the maximum length barcode while still maintaining a 3.81-mm (0.15-in) right margin.
• The barcode extends to the top of label to maximize use of vertical space.
