GS1 DataBar
GS1 DataBar is formerly named as Reduced Space Symbology or RSS. It is a small, compact barcode capable of identifying small items
and encodes more information than the UPC retail barcode. Because of it compactness, it offers benefits of smaller labels and reduced packaging costs.
By carrying more data like expiration date, item weight, sales area etc., it allows for better product traceability, authentication and categorization.
GS1 DataBar were endorsed and adopted by GS1 and is expected to be the next major barcode symbology used on many trade items. There is a sunrise date on 2010 for all trade scanning systems to be able to read GS1 DataBar barcodes.

GS1 DataBar Truncated
GS1 DataBar Truncated is structured and encoded the same as the standard GS1 DataBar-14 format, except its height is reduced to a 13X minimum. It may be used for small items when an Indicator digit greater than one is required. It is designed to be read by scanners such as wands, handheld lasers, and linear and CCD scanners. It cannot be read efficiently by omnidirectional slot scanners.Back to Barcode Symbology Home
