Frequently Asked Questions
Which type should I choose?
Use Code 128 for general use. Use EAN-13 or UPC-A for products sold in shops. Use Code 39 for older systems that need it.
Can I make a barcode with Telugu text?
No. Barcodes of these types store English letters, numbers and signs only. For Telugu text, use a QR code.
What is the check digit?
The last digit of EAN-13 and UPC-A, worked out from the other digits so that scanners can find typing mistakes. This tool adds it for you.
Can I use it to sell products in shops?
Barcodes for retail must use numbers given to you by an official body such as GS1. This tool only draws the barcode for the number you give.
How do I print it well?
Print at a size big enough for your scanner, keep dark bars on a light background and keep the white space on both sides. Test with a scanner first.
Is my data uploaded?
