Los códigos de barras unidimensionales (o 1D) usan diferentes anchos y espacios de líneas paralelas para expresar datos de manera consistente. Con el fin de acelerar los flujos de trabajo para el inventario, los códigos de barras 1D se utilizan con frecuencia en las operaciones empresariales.Estos incluyen algunos de los tipos de códigos de barras más antiguos y conocidos,[2]​ como los códigos UPC y EAN. Los códigos de barras lineales son otro nombre para los códigos de barras 1D que se usan con frecuencia.

Linear barcodes

Some of the most common linear or one-dimensional barcodes are:.

Matrix barcodes

Matrix or two-dimensional codes, which can be read both horizontally and vertically, were born as a logical evolution of one-dimensional codes to increase the ability to represent content.[3]​.

Some of the most common two-dimensional barcodes are:

European item numbers may look quite familiar to people who live outside the United States. They are primarily used in Europe for consumer products that are scanned at a POS.

The standard form factor is EAN-13, which has thirteen digits, while EAN-8 is used on products with a small amount of available space. Both models are convenient for scanning rental goods and do not take up much space.

Among all the first justifications for the implementation of the barcode were the need to speed up the reading of the items in the boxes and to avoid typing errors. Other advantages that can be highlighted from this system are:

The information is processed and stored based on a binary digital system where everything is summarized in sequences of ones and zeros. The memory and logical decision center is a universal type electronic computer, already available in many commercial companies and generally compatible with the different brands and models preferred in each country. These devices also allow different branches or distributors to be interconnected, centralizing all the information.

Now the distributor can better know the dynamic parameters of their commercial circuits, allowing them to improve performance and decision-making, since they will know exactly and instantly all the information coming from the sales outlets, whether or not they are in their headquarters. It knows the deposit retention times for each product and the days and hours in which consumers carry out their purchasing routines, and can then decide when to present offers, for which products and at what prices.

Among the few disadvantages attributed to it is the impossibility of remembering the price of the product once it is removed from the shelf. It must also be clarified that the QR code is not a barcode itself, its reading methods differ and clearly QR codes are not bars. They are included here because they are used for the same purpose as barcodes.

To make the barcode easier to read, a high contrast is applied between the dark and light components of the code.
