Most often in commerce you can meet barcodes, placed on products. With this information, it is possible to quickly identify the country of origin, part number or even serial number of the product.Thanks to developments started at large companies, nearly forty different barcodes have been created in recent decades, but nearly a dozen of them have become widespread or standard. Among the organizations that carry out standardization, the most important are: AIM, ANSI, CEN, EAN, UCC and EDI.
Let's look at the barcode types grouped together
1D Barcode Types
- EAN 13, EAN 8, UPC-A, UPC-E, JAN Codes, CODE-128, ISBN Code
- 2D Barcode Types
- DataMatrix, QR Code
In the case of our future plastic card, we have plenty of opportunities to transfer even more information about our service or product with an added barcode. For example, in the case of a plain 1D barcode, you can assign a unique discount to the given code, but you can also hide a serial number in the barcode, or you can simply assign a customer to the given set of characters. Since the 2D barcode is already capable of storing much more information, many innovative companies can connect their plastic cards to their own systems. For example, you can easily place a virtual business card for smart devices, with which your data will immediately appear in your client's device, but you can also easily store a route plan or even a unique coded URL.
So in our current age there can be no limit to our ideas, if you have unique ideas and would like to realize them with a plastic card product, we are happy to help! Ask for a unique plastic card offer!
