Free Code 128 Barcode Generator
Code 128 is a flexible barcode format for inventory labels, internal product IDs, cartons, bins, and warehouse workflows. BarcodeLabeler creates the barcode in your browser and lets you download a PNG, SVG, or BMP file.
When to use Code 128
Use Code 128 when you need a compact linear barcode that can encode numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and common symbols. It is a strong default for internal labels because it supports more characters than UPC or EAN retail codes.
Code 128 label tips
- Keep values short when labels are small.
- Use 203 or 300 DPI for thermal label printers.
- Download SVG when you plan to place the barcode into design software.
- Download PNG or BMP for direct printing and office documents.
