HIBC Code 39 for shelf-edge and bin labels

Hospital and pharmacy shelf-edge and bin labeling uses this generator with a fixed, more substantial bar height applied.

Same generator, one preset applied

This experience uses the same HIBC Code 39 capability as the primary generator, with a fixed 20mm bar height ("height": 20) preset, matching hospital/pharmacy shelf-edge and bin-label placement.

Example data

The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid value, distinct from the primary's example.

Workflow

Enter your HIBC data, confirm the computed check character is accepted, then export SVG for the shelf-edge or bin label.

Job-specific settings

No job-specific options beyond the fixed bar height are applied here.

Scanning notes

Since the symbol is Code 39-based, any standard linear barcode scanner reads it the same way.

Common mistakes

Using a character outside HIBC's own 43-character set is the most common rejection.

Standard

HIBC Code 39 follows the Health Industry Business Communications labeling standard.

For a 2D alternative with more data capacity, use the HIBC Data Matrix or HIBC QR Code generator instead.
