What is a commodity bar code?

A commodity barcode is a special symbol that converts a digital code representing commodity information into a set of regularly arranged parallel lines. In 1970, the U.S. grocery industry pioneered the use of such barcodes on food packaging carriers, which then expanded to worldwide use. The commodity bar code is the "ID card" of the commodity and the "common language" of the commodity circulation in the international market ".

Why use barcodes on goods?

In recent years, many cities in China (such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, etc.) have been documented that all non-bar code goods are not allowed to enter the supermarket. Commodity bar code is the basis for the realization of commercial modernization, and it is the admission ticket for commodities to enter supermarkets and POS scanning stores. In the scanning store, when the customer pays at the cashier's counter after purchasing the goods, the cashier can quickly input the number under the bar code into the electronic computer as long as the goods with bar code are gently passed over the table equipped with laser scanner. Through inquiry and data processing, the machine can immediately identify the commodity manufacturer, name, price and other commodity information and print out the shopping list. This can not only realize the automatic management of sales, warehousing and ordering, but also make the sales information timely for the manufacturers through the production, supply and marketing information system.

How to use commodity bar code?

Commodity bar codes are generally printed on commodity packaging, or they are made into bar code labels attached to commodities. For small batch products, the bar code can also be printed on the sticker posted.
