Select the symbology standard tailored to your industry: Code 128 is the universal high-density standard for shipping logistics, freight routing, and warehouse inventory; EAN-13 and UPC-A are official GS1 point-of-sale retail standards (EAN-13 globally, UPC-A in the US and Canada); ITF-14 (Interleaved 2 of 5) is designed for corrugated master shipping cartons; Code 39 is a classic alphanumeric symbology used in automotive manufacturing, defense logistics, and internal asset tags; Codabar is used in healthcare blood banks and library systems; and Pharmacode is specialized for pharmaceutical packaging inspection.
Yes, 100%. All barcodes generated by Telekit strictly adhere to official ISO/IEC symbology specifications (ISO/IEC 15417 for Code 128, ISO/IEC 15420 for EAN/UPC, ISO/IEC 16388 for Code 39). They incorporate standard quiet zones (margins), guard patterns, parity checks, and checksum digits, ensuring scannability across handheld laser scanners, fixed-mount CCD cameras, and mobile smartphone scanner apps.
When you enter 12 digits for EAN-13, 7 digits for EAN-8, or 11 digits for UPC-A, Telekit automatically executes the standard GS1 Modulo-10 algorithm: alternating weights of 1 and 3 are multiplied against the payload digits, summed, and the tens complement is calculated to derive the final check digit. If you supply the complete 13 or 12 digits, the validator verifies mathematical integrity and flags any incorrect checksums.
No. Telekit Tools operates strictly offline and client-side. Barcode rendering, SVG serialization, PNG rasterization, GS1 checksum calculation, and batch JSZip compression execute 100% in your local web browser tab's memory. Zero bytes of your serial numbers, tracking payloads, or product SKUs are ever sent across the network or stored in external databases.
Yes. Clicking 'Copy Image' (or pressing Alt+C) rasterizes the vector barcode directly into an in-memory PNG blob and writes it to your system clipboard via the HTML5 Async Clipboard API. You can immediately paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) the barcode graphic into Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Figma, Adobe Illustrator, or messaging applications.
In Batch Mode, you can enter up to 100 serials or SKUs (one per line). You can also override symbologies per line using inline format prefixes (e.g., 'EAN13:4006381333931' or 'CODE39:ASSET-99'). The engine parses and validates every entry in real time, reports check digits, and lets you download a structured ZIP archive containing individual vector SVG files alongside a manifest.json audit file with one click.
Yes. The Printable Label Sheet mode arranges your barcodes into customizable 2, 3, or 4-column grids specifically engineered for standard A4 and US Letter adhesive label sheets. Clicking 'Print Label Sheet' (or pressing Ctrl+P) activates browser print styles that isolate only the barcode sticker labels while hiding web headers, footers, and sidebars.
For standard digital screens and web mockups, 96 DPI (1x) is sufficient. For desktop laser and inkjet office printing, select 192 DPI (2x). For commercial packaging and professional retail labels, choose 300 DPI Ultra HD (3x). For fine-pitch industrial thermal transfer barcode printers (e.g., Zebra, Honeywell), choose 600 DPI (6x) to eliminate raster anti-aliasing artifacts on bar edges.
Presentation Mockups let you preview how your barcode looks in real-world commercial contexts before printing. The 'Retail Price Tag' mockup renders an in-store shelf tag with editable currency, item price, and product name. The 'Shipping Carton' mockup renders a logistics container label with package recipient, tracking code, and priority handling marks.

Barcode Printing & Scanning Best Practices
Essential guidelines to ensure 100% first-pass scan accuracy across laser, CCD, and mobile camera scanners.
📐 Quiet Zone Margins
Preserve Side Padding
Always maintain at least 10x the single-bar width (minimum 6mm or 10px margin) of blank space on both sides of the barcode. Without quiet zones, optical sensors cannot identify where the symbol starts and ends.
🎨 Contrast Ratios
Dark Bars on Light Backgrounds
Optical scanners illuminate codes with red lasers (660nm). Never use red or yellow for barcode lines, as red laser light will reflect off red ink as if it were white. Stick to high-contrast black or dark navy on white backgrounds.
🖨️ Resolution & DPI
Print at 300+ DPI
When printing product packaging or shipping labels, export at 300 DPI or higher (or use vector SVG). Raster scaling or anti-aliasing blur can merge fine bar pairs together, leading to unreadable scan failures.
