2D Codes Are Now Replacing Linear Barcodes

2D Codes are now replacing the 1D code because two-dimensional barcode is capable of representing a lot more data because the number of dimensions has been doubled as compared to one-dimensional barcode.

Data stored in 1D code can be easily read by machine and stores information to a certain point. 2D code is a complex coding and represents data both horizontally and vertically. Special scanning machines are used for reading the information of this barcode. With the invention and development of laser engraving and laser etching 2D bar-coding is gaining popularity by leap and bound.

Information can be coded in 2D form and then the design obtained can be marked on object using laser beam of light by a process called as laser marking. Earlier before the invention of laser marking technology 1D coding was popular because it can be done easily with traditional marking techniques. Now with the upsurge of laser engraving and laser etching barcodes can be easily marked and etched on the objects. Even 2D barcodes can be printed on tiny objects with the help of laser light. Different types of machines are used for laser bar-coding.

Identisys is a well known company providing marking services. The expert engineers of Identisys are specialized in 2D bar-coding. They can store data in the barcode from 93 characters to 2000 characters depending on the object type and object size where code has to be marked. You can store more data and have total security of information with 2D barcodes. This is all possible because of laser engraving and laser etching technology as objects can be marked without coming in direct with the machine. Marking is done with the beam of laser light. The lights are passed in the object at targeted surface for imprinting.
