What is a Aztec barcode?
Aztec Code is a 2D barcode symbology designed for high-density data storage in a compact format. It is often used in applications like transportation (e.g., boarding passes), ticketing, government documents, and inventory management. One key advantage of Aztec Code is that it does not require a quiet zone around the barcode, making it more space-efficient than other 2D codes like QR codes. It also supports omnidirectional scanning, which means it can be read from any angle.
How much data can a Aztec barcode hold?
The amount of data an Aztec barcode can hold depends on the type of data:
| Data Type | Maximum Capacity |
|---|---|
| Numeric data | Up to 3,832 characters |
| Alphanumeric data | Up to 3,067 characters |
| Binary data | Up to 1,914 bytes |
