Which barcode format should I use?

CODE128 works for most general text and numbers. Use EAN-13 or UPC-A for retail products, and ITF-14 for shipping cartons.

Why does my value show an error?

Formats like EAN-13 and UPC require an exact number of digits. Check the hint under the value field for the format's requirements.

Can I print the barcode?

Yes. Download the PNG or SVG and place it in your label or document. SVG stays sharp at any print size.
