How to Generate GS1-128 Barcode Labels

by Nate Schubert

GS1-128, formerly known as UCC/EAN-128, is a type of barcode standard that was designed to bring businesses together into one global standard by allowing application identifiers that define the data encoded in a barcode. The GS1-128 standard may only be met through the creation of a Code 128 barcode which fits the parameters specific to GS1-128. There are a wide variety of application identifiers that can be applied to a GS1-128 barcode, and including this type of information can ease the process of communication between companies, thereby fostering an environment of increased efficiency and smoother operation.
