Barcodes are omnipresent, and it’s hard to find any packaging without at least one of them printed on the side or attached somewhere. The simplicity, universality and low cost of barcodes are the reasons that barcodes haven’t been replaced in automatic identification and data capture (AIDC).
The fact that they are easy to use doesn’t mean that you need the right tools to get them right. Especially in packaging, there are heavy fines on producing wrong or non-compliant barcodes.
