Aztec Code for tickets and passes
Transit tickets, event passes, and boarding passes favor Aztec Code because it stays scannable at small sizes without a quiet zone.
Preconfigured for ticketing
This experience uses bwip-js's compact Aztec Code layout ("format": "compact") instead of the primary's full-range layout, for small printed or mobile-screen ticket stock.
Example data
The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid Aztec Code value you can adapt to your own ticket/pass payload.
Workflow
Enter your ticket or pass payload, confirm the live preview, then export SVG for print vendors or PNG for digital passes.
Job-specific settings
Favor the compact format setting for physical ticket stock, and increase eclevel if the pass will be printed on lower-quality media.
Scanning notes
No dedicated quiet zone is required, which is part of why Aztec Code suits tightly laid-out ticket and pass designs.
Common mistakes
Oversized payloads for a fixed compact version are the most common failure; switch to standard (non-compact) Aztec Code if this occurs.
Standard
Aztec Code is defined by ISO/IEC 24778.
