Code 39 barcode generator
Older inventory and asset-tracking systems, badge IDs, and industrial equipment labeling where scanner compatibility matters more than density.
Character set
Uppercase letters, digits 0–9, and a small set of symbols (- . $ / + % space)
Typical use
Older inventory and asset-tracking systems, badge IDs, and industrial equipment labeling where scanner compatibility matters more than density.
