A new version of the barcode creator software Barcode Studio is on the way!
What’s New?
Barcode Studio V11.5 introduces a new data input assistant. This special feature simplifies the creation of 2D codes for mobile tagging and electronic business cards (so-called vCard and meCard barcodes) dramatically.
With Barcode Studio V11.5 you are able to create more than 100 different linear, postal, GS1 and 2D barcode symbologies. The barcodes can be printed on simple labels or exported as bitmap or vector image files. Batch barcode creation with external data is supported.
2D Codes for Mobile Tagging
vCard Data Input Assistant
vCard and meCard QR-codes are used to encode contact details of a business card (like name, address, email, phone-number ...) in a 2D barcode symbol. When scanning such a barcode with a smartphone (camera and suitable scanner software is required of course), the data is automatically entered into the address book of the phone. No manual typing or copy/paste is required.
Try it Yourself - Scan the Code!
vCard and meCard barcodes encode the contact details in a certain format. The new data input assistant of Barcode Studio takes care of the right formatting. In order to create readable barcodes you just enter the contact data (see screen shot) and Barcode Studio creates the correct code. You do not need to know the details.
In addition the above mentioned vCard and meCard codes, Barcode Studio allows you to create 2D codes for mobile tagging applications. Currently supported are barcodes for sending text messages (SMS), phone calls, Twitter tweets, Facebook likes and profiles, LinkedIn contacts and profiles, Wi-Fi access and events (vCalendar). In future versions of Barcode Studio this list will be extended as appropriate.
GS1 DataBar - Application Identifier Support
GS1 Application Identifier Assitant
Users of the GS1 DataBar or GS1-128 barcode symbologies benefit from the data input assistant as well. Barcode Studio provides a searchable list of the available application identifiers (AIs) and ensures that the rules for a correct GS1 barcode are met. Application identifiers are used to designate the encoded data. More than hundred AIs are in common use (e.g. AI 10 designates the LOT number, AI 11 the production date ...). Barcode Studio also takes care to separate multiple AIs in a single barcode with the Function Code 1 (FNC1).

GS1 Barcode System Basics - Part 1 Hello to all readers! In this blog post, we'll dive into the fundamentals of the GS1 barcode system, unraveling the essential basics that make it a cornerstone in various industries. Types of GS1 Barcodes This post series provides a fundamental overview of the used barcode- and 2D code symbologies and explains terms like AI, data identifier, application identifier, or FNC1. The GS1 system employs various barcode types to encode information, tailored to specific applications. These include EAN , UPC , GS1-128 , GS1 DataBar , ITF-14, and the 2D codes GS1 DataMatrix and GS1 QR Code . The choice of barcode type depends on the application area: EAN and UPC Codes EAN-13 Barcode UPC-A Barcode EAN codes are prevalent in Europe, while UPC codes are commonly found in North America. These codes, prominently used in retail product labeling, help streamline the checkout process at supermarkets. They contain a unique product identifier, the GTIN
