Matrix 2 of 5 for warehouse shelf-label stock

Warehouse shelf and bin labels are often printed and scanned at a distance that benefits from a taller bar height than the symbology's own compact default -- this generator applies a fixed, taller bar height by default.

Same generator, one preset applied

This experience uses the same Matrix 2 of 5 capability as the primary generator, with a fixed 20mm bar height ("height": 20) instead of bwip-js's own auto-computed default.

Example data

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

Workflow

Enter your digits, confirm the preview, then export SVG or PNG for the label artwork.

Job-specific settings

No job-specific options beyond the fixed 20mm bar height are applied here.

Scanning notes

Matrix 2 of 5 requires a reader configured for this specific 2-of-5 variant's own bar-width table, the same reader requirement the primary generator's own symbols have.

Common mistakes

A non-digit character or an empty value is the most common rejection; this is unaffected by the height preset itself.

Standard

Matrix 2 of 5 is one of several AIM-documented historical members of the 2-of-5 barcode family.
