PZN for a specific pharmaceutical product

Manufacturers and packagers producing a specific medicinal product use this generator seeded with that product's own assigned PZN.

Same generator, no special configuration

This experience uses the same PZN capability as the primary generator, with no separate options applied for this use case yet -- switching to the newer 8-digit PZN8 format is a single checkbox on the primary generator itself, not a separate tool.

Example data

The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid PZN, distinct from the primary's example, that you can replace with your product's assigned PZN.

Workflow

Enter your product's PZN body digits, confirm the computed check digit, then export SVG for packaging artwork.

Job-specific settings

No job-specific options are applied here beyond the primary's own defaults.

Scanning notes

PZN's Code 39-family symbol needs a clear quiet zone on both sides, the same as any other Code 39-based label.

Common mistakes

Supplying a self-computed check digit that does not match bwip-js's own calculation is the most common rejection.

Standard

PZN is documented in the bwip-js/BWIPP symbology reference.
