GS1 makes no recommendations for the structure of batch numbers, other than limiting their length to no more than 20 alphanumeric characters.
However, if it is possible, in order to save space when printing a barcode, use a batch number that is all numeric, ideally with an even number of characters.
See the GS1 Identification Keys in Transport & Logistics guideline for more information.
