What does “generate a barcode” mean?
Generating a barcode means converting numbers or text into a machine-readable format that scanners can read accurately. Each barcode type follows a specific encoding standard.
When you generate a barcode correctly, it can be scanned reliably by phones, handheld scanners, and retail point-of-sale systems.
Barcode formats you can generate
- Code 128 – ideal for general labels and IDs
- EAN-13 – used on retail products in the UK and Europe
- UPC-A – retail barcode for the US and Canada
- Code 39 – popular for asset and inventory tracking
- ITF-14 – used for cartons and bulk packaging
If you’re unsure which to choose, start with Code 128 — it supports a wide range of characters and scans very reliably.
