Code 39
Unlike other common barcodes, Code 39 can also encode letters, which makes it indispensable in the industrial sector. A frequent use case is in factory automation in the automotive and electronics industries. In the US, it was standardized and adopted by the Automotive Industry Action Group and is now used as the standard VIN Barcode.
- One-dimensional barcode that encodes 43 characters: uppercase letters, numeric digits, and a number of special characters.
- Self-checking. However, a modulo 43 check digit is sometimes included.
- The low data density makes it unsuitable for tiny items.
- Standardized as ANSI MH 10.8 M-1983 and ANSI/AIM BC1/1995.
