GS1-Limited
encodes a 14-digit GS1 item identification with indicator digits of zero or one in a linear
symbol for use on small items that will not be scanned at the point-of-sale.
GS1-14 Stacked
is a variation of GS1-14 symbology that is stacked in two rows and is used when the
normal symbol would be too wide for the application. It comes in two versions – a truncated version
used for small item marking applications, and a taller omnidirectional version that is designed to be read
by omnidirectional scanners.
GS1 Expanded
encodes GS1 item identification plus supplementary AI element strings such as weight
and "best before" date in a linear symbol that can be scanned omnidirectionally by suitably
programmed point-of-sale scanners. GS1 Expanded can also be printed in multiple rows as a stacked
column.
GS1Stacked Omnidirectional
allows the full height GS1-14 to be printed in two rows of two segments
each, which reduces the overall length of the linear bar code so it can fit better on certain packaging
configurations. The separator pattern between the two rows is designed to eliminate cross-row
scanning errors.
GS1 Truncated
Any member of the GS1 family can be printed as a stand-alone linear symbol or as a composite symbol
with an accompanying 2D Composite component printed directly above the GS1 linear component.
GSI-128 (Formerly UCC/EAN 128)
GS1-128 is a Serial Shipping Container Code with a secure bar code symbology. It allows all
participants in the supply chain to use a common, standard solution for their individual tracking and
tracing needs.
The GS1-128 bar code symbology requires AIs to define the data architecture. AIs are prefixes which
indicate the meaning and format of the data which follows. Among the things they may be used for are
item identification, measurements, quantities, traceability, dates, transaction references and location
numbers.

Interleaved 2 of 5
Interleaved 2 of 5 is a variable length, even-numbered, numeric bar code symbol. It is typically used in
industrial and master carton labeling. The symbology uses bars to represent the first character and the
interleaved (white) spaces to represent the second character. Each character has two wide elements
and three narrow elements. A modulo 10 check character can be used to enhance data security for
Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode symbols. When this option is selected, the last digit of the symbol is
assumed to be the check digit, and it is compared to a calculated check digit to verify the symbol.
