What is it?

  The GS1-128 barcode allows communication of different pieces of information in a single barcode. For example, it can communicate a product ID and a batch number and an expiration date all in one single GS1-128 barcode.

This information is separated and identified using application identifier numbers (shown in parenthesis). These tell the scanner reading the barcode which pieces of information goes into which field of the database it is being scanning into. In our previous example: the product ID will be identified by its application identifier and put in the product ID field of the database. The same goes for the batch number and the expiration date stored in the GS1-128 barcode.

There are many different application identifiers allowing for many different pieces of information to be stored and communicated via the GS1-128 barcode.

What is a GS1-128 Barcode?

  A GS1-128 Barcode is a unique version of the Code 128 barcode. It allows you to communicate various pieces of information (product ID such as GTIN or UPC/EAN or SCC/SSCC, dates such as expiration or best-by or manufacturing, lot or batch numbers, and many more). These pieces of information are separated and categorized/identified by application identifiers. This allows databases into which the information is scanned to immediately put the scanned data into the correct fields.
 
 

Where/How are GS1-128 Barcodes used?

  GS1-128 barcodes have many different uses. Most commonly the GS1-128 barcode identifies:
  • Cases of goods
  • Pallets (often in form of SSCC-18 codes)
  • Medical items (UDI compliance)
  • Coupons
  • Items subject to Food Traceability rules
  • and many more…
 
 

How are GS1-128 Barcodes different from “plain” Code 128 Barcodes?

  The key difference between the two codes is the use of the GS1 application identifiers. This makes the GS1-128 barcode ideal for communicating multiple pieces of information at once, while the Code 128 is used to communicate a single piece of information.

In what format are my GS1-128 Barcodes created?

  For your convenience, you choose your barcode graphic from many different formats so that your graphic artist, printing company, or manufacturing facility can work with your barcode graphic in their preferred software. Some of the most commonly requested file formats:
 
   
EPS Format - This layered, vector EPS file is the preferred format of most graphic designers due to its quality and versatility, particularly for resizing. EPS is an "exchange" format, not necessarily associated with one specific graphics program. An exchange format is one intended for multiple applications to be able to open.
PNG Format - This raster PNG file works well for graphic artists who need a transparent background. This format supports lossless data compression. However, this format is not suitable for significant resizing.
JPEG Format - This uncompressed, high-quality JPEG file is the most common file format. All computers can open a JPEG. However, it is not suitable for resizing.
PDF Format - The high-quality Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to present and exchange documents reliably. PDF files will open on nearly all systems, independent of software, hardware, or operating system.
