Understanding Barcode Scannability

The accuracy of your inventory depends on Dots Per Inch (DPI) resolution:

203 DPI The industry standard for standard retail barcodes (1D) and shipping labels.

300 DPI Required for high-density QR Codes (2D) and micro product labels where precision is vital.

Future-Proofing: Our TSC and Bixolon ranges are fully compatible with the UK's move toward GS1 Digital Links and QR-based inventory tracking.
