Welcome To Barcodes In South Africa

So what's the big deal about barcodes?

Hi folks, I'm Grant. I have been a slave (a happy one) to the printing industry for the last 27 years and feel that I might have some useful information to

share. One of the most common questions we get asked from our clients is 'how do barcodes work?' and 'how do i get barcodes for my company?'. After telling them for years that we had no idea, I was finally sent off to really find

out how everything worked. Sure enough, it was much more complicated than I had imagined. I spent a good 3 weeks trawling the net, getting stuck, confused and even more confused. Finally, though, I emerged with a decent idea of what

is going on, I think :)So I have slapped this site together so that I can just direct our clients to here rather than having to explain it in person every time. In truth, however, this info applies to everyone or anyone who is looking to register for barcodes. There is a lot out there, so I hope that

this helps you to get a hang of things without having to do what I did. In the end the process is pretty simple if you know what you doing. Please enjoy and use the

information freely. Please remember, though, that I am no world expert, I can only speak from my experiences in the printing industry in South Africa!

Types of Barcodes - a look at various barcodes with their different uses and characteristics

Various types of barcodes exist today, each of them with unique symbol logies and functions. The symbol logy of any given barcode is, essentially, its technical details – the width and quantity of bars, character set, encoding method, and more. We see these black and white lines and patterns on just about every item we purchase at retail stores. But have you ever stopped to find out more about these types of barcodes that, besides money, make our world go round?
