SmartTagPro's Label Studio supports the full set. Here is how we match symbology to job.
Compact, alphanumeric, the workhorse of logistics. Default for shipping cartons, internal asset codes, and pallet labels.
Best for asset tags, verification, and any flow where a phone is the scanner. Encodes URLs cleanly and tolerates damage.
Even smaller footprint than QR — perfect for marking electronics, tools, and parts under 25mm.
Code 128 with structured Application Identifiers — required by retailers and 3PLs for shipment, lot and expiry data.
The retail standards. Use for consumer goods that pass through a POS scanner.
Stacked 2D — high capacity for IDs, transport documents, and licences. Larger than QR but reads on linear imagers.
