Which stacked DataBar format should I choose?

Use this variant when your receiving system requires Stacked Omnidirectional Composite. Ordinary Stacked has lower rows and is not the omnidirectional checkout variant. Expanded Stacked can carry extra fields in its barcode rows instead. To read the full composite, the scanner and software must support GS1 Composite. Test the printed label before use.

How do I check the code before printing?

Leave the white margins intact, keep the image in proportion and scan a sample at its final printed size with the device you intend to use.

Create a two-row GS1 DataBar composite label with a product GTIN, expiry date and batch number. Download PNG or SVG.

A narrower product label with expiry and batch

Stacked Omnidirectional arranges the product GTIN in two full-height rows instead of one wider row. The composite adds a 2D component above for extra GS1 data. This tool creates both parts together; the expiry and batch fields are in the upper component, not the product rows.
