GS1 DataBar Limited

GS1 DataBar Limited barcode in PHP: 14 digit GTIN input, indicator digit limit, code example and SVG output

- Nicola Asuni

The narrowest of the family, 74 modules wide and 10 high, for items that cannot carry anything larger. The price of that size is the indicator digit: the first digit of the GTIN has to be 0 or 1, so the format only covers retail consumer units.
