IATA 2 of 5 for air-cargo label stock

Legacy air-transport labeling uses this generator with a fixed, scan-friendly bar height applied.

Same generator, one preset applied

This experience uses the same IATA 2 of 5 capability as the primary generator, with a fixed 20mm bar height ("height": 20) preset, matching air-cargo label stock.

Example data

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

Workflow

Enter your numeric data, confirm the preview, then export SVG for the air-cargo label.

Job-specific settings

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

Scanning notes

Since the symbol is drawn via the shared 2 of 5 family encoder, any scanner configured for IATA 2 of 5 specifically reads it the same way; a scanner configured only for Interleaved or Industrial 2 of 5 will not recognize IATA's own bar-width table.

Common mistakes

Supplying a non-digit character is the most common rejection.

Reference

IATA 2 of 5 is documented in the bwip-js/BWIPP symbology reference.
