GS1-Limited

encodes a 14-digit GS1 item identification with indicator digits of zero or one in a linear

symbol for use on small items that will not be scanned at the point-of-sale.

GS1-14 Stacked

is a variation of GS1-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is used when the

normal symbol would be too wide for the application. It comes in two versions – a truncated version

used for small item marking applications, and a taller omnidirectional version that is designed to be read

by omnidirectional scanners.

GS1 Expanded

encodes GS1 item identification plus supplementary AI element strings such as weight

and "best before" date in a linear symbol that can be scanned omnidirectionally by suitably

programmed point-of-sale scanners. GS1 Expanded can also be printed in multiple rows as a stacked

column.

GS1Stacked Omnidirectional

allows the full height GS1-14 to be printed in two rows of two segments

each, which reduces the overall length of the linear bar code so it can fit better on certain packaging

configurations. The separator pattern between the two rows is designed to eliminate cross-row

scanning errors.

GS1 Truncated

Any member of the GS1 family can be printed as a stand-alone linear symbol or as a composite symbol

with an accompanying 2D Composite component printed directly above the GS1 linear component.

GSI-128 (Formerly UCC/EAN 128)

GS1-128 is a Serial Shipping Container Code with a secure bar code symbology. It allows all

participants in the supply chain to use a common, standard solution for their individual tracking and

tracing needs.

The GS1-128 bar code symbology requires AIs to define the data architecture. AIs are prefixes which

indicate the meaning and format of the data which follows. Among the things they may be used for are

item identification, measurements, quantities, traceability, dates, transaction references and location

numbers.

GS1-128 Example

Interleaved 2 of 5

Interleaved 2 of 5 is a variable length, even-numbered, numeric bar code symbol. It is typically used in

industrial and master carton labeling. The symbology uses bars to represent the first character and the

interleaved (white) spaces to represent the second character. Each character has two wide elements

and three narrow elements. A modulo 10 check character can be used to enhance data security for

Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode symbols. When this option is selected, the last digit of the symbol is

assumed to be the check digit, and it is compared to a calculated check digit to verify the symbol.
