Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Code 128 and GS1-128?
GS1-128 is the standardized version of Code 128 mandated by the GS1 system.
It encodes only part of Code 128's total encoding characters, utilizing only a portion of the full Code 128 specification.
What's the distinction between GS1-128 and GTIN-14?
Both encode GS1 business data. GS1-128 handles multiple GS1 application IDs and their associated data (such as serial numbers, prices, production dates),
while GTIN-14 (ITF-14) only stores the 14-digit GTIN, GTIN-14 (ITF-14) is the product's SKU barcode on a case, used purely for identification.
What content does a GS1-128 barcode have?
A GS1-128 barcode can hold 48 characters of data at most. GS1-128 can contain information like serial numbers,
manufacture/expiry dates, weight, and price, within a 48-character limit.
What's the minimum and maximum size requirement for GS1-128 barcodes?
For a GS1-128 barcode, the X-dimension (narrowest bar or space) has a minimum width of 0.495 mm
and the maximum width allowed for the X-dimension is 1.016 mm.
Does GS1-128 have a function code, and if so, which one?
In GS1-128, the FNC1 character serves as the primary function code and is positioned directly after the start character.
