Are the brackets presented in the GS1-128 barcode?

Modified on Fri, 30 Aug at 6:11 PM

No. The brackets around the Application Identifiers in the Human Readable field are not encoded in a GS1-128 symbol.

The brackets are only used in the human readable text under the barcode. The purpose is to differentiate the separate data elements. GS1-128 software recognises different types of data on the basis of the standardised Application Identifier formats. The same is true for other GS1 Barcodes that use GS1Application Identifiers (e.g. GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 QR Code and GS1 DataBar).
