If any side of a consumer package is less than 25 mm, especially if the package has a very small base, the symbol should be placed on the bottom-right of the back. Special rules for small consumer packages
If the height of a case is less than 32 mm, the symbol can be placed on the top of the package and still be kept within limits in the space available on the package. By placing the human readable text alongside the barcode, the size can be kept within limits in the space available on the package. If the height of a case is less than 50 mm, the human readable text can be placed to the left of the barcode, outside the mandatory quiet zone, instead of below the symbol. GS1-128įor GS1-128 the height is measured from the bottom to the top of the bars. Character Set, Length, Check Digit, Size, Module Width X, Print Ratio. ITF-14įor ITF-14 the height is measured from the bottom to the top of the bars, excluding the bearer bars. Symbol height is measured as follows EAN-13 and EAN-8įor EAN-13 and EAN-8, the height of the barcode is measured from the bottom of the bars to the top of the bars. The X dimension is the width, in thousandths of an inch, of the narrowest element (bar or space) in a barcode. ***** For UPC-A the right and the left quiet zone should be at least 9 times X-dimension. **** For U PC-E the left quiet zone should be at least 9 times X-dimension and the right quiet zone should be at least 7 times X-dimension. The quiet zone is a blank area which ensures that adjacent information such as the package artwork does not confuse the reader. *** There must always be a quiet zone on the left and right of the symbol. Note that the symbols in the diagrams do not have recommended sizes. ** S ymbol height is measured differently for different symbologies, see diagrams below. * X-dimension is the width of the symbol’s thinnest bar. Therefore, an X dimension of 7.5 mils is 0.0075 inches.
#BARCODE X DIMENSIONS CODE#
Limits for module X-dimension and bar code height are given as minimum (min), recommended (rec) and maxiumum (max) values. Below is a summary of the size limits defined for carriers EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF-14 och GS1-128 in the GS1 General Specifications.
