For those who are new in the field of barcodes, below there is a brief explanation of what Code 128 is and how it works

What is Code 128?

Code 128 is an alpha-numeric barcode with a very high density of symbology. It can encode all the 128 ASCII characters. A simple Code 128 barcode has six parts:

Two quiet zones – one before and one after the barcode;
Starting and ending section;
The encoded data;
Check character;

The quiet zones are approximately 10 times the narrowest bar/space. Its recommended width is 6,4mm. The principles of turning characters into Code 128 barcode are simple. Every character is represented by three bars and three spaces. Each bar/space is one, two, three or four units wide. It is mandatory the sum of units of every character to be 11 (only the stop character is 13 because there is one additional bar with length 2).

Nowadays the Code 128 barcode is extensively used in the industry, in the shipping and packaging businesses. It is perfect for designating all kinds of products and plays crucial role in the identification process of these products.
