Structured Carrier Message mode

MaxiCode for parcel shipping labels

High-speed parcel sortation systems, most notably UPS, rely on MaxiCode's fixed-size, omnidirectional-friendly design for reliable conveyor-line scanning.

Preconfigured for shipping labels

This experience rotates the symbol 90 degrees ("rotate": "R") instead of the primary's unrotated default, for shipping-label orientation.

Example data

The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid value you can adapt with your own carrier message data.

Workflow

Enter your structured carrier message data, confirm the preview, then export SVG for shipping label artwork.

Job-specific settings

Stay within the fixed capacity for your chosen mode -- MaxiCode cannot grow to fit longer data.

Common mistakes

Assuming MaxiCode's module grid grows for longer data like QR Code or Data Matrix is the most common misunderstanding; its per-mode data capacity is fixed by standard regardless of payload length.

Standard

MaxiCode is defined by ISO/IEC 16023.

For variable-length shipping data, consider PDF417 or Data Matrix instead.
