Linear barcode

A linear barcode is a one-dimensional pattern of parallel lines and spaces that represent data, typically numbers or letters. When scanned with a barcode reader, the varying widths and spacing of these lines encode information that machines can quickly interpret. They are commonly used on products, tickets, and packages for identification and tracking. The barcode itself is simple, efficient, and cost-effective, making it suitable for many retail and logistics applications. Essentially, it’s a visual code that allows computers to read data fast and accurately from a physical item.
