Mailmark at a smaller, square footprint

UK mail preparation that needs a smaller, square symbol footprint (instead of the wider rectangular default) uses this generator with a fixed type applied.

Same generator, one preset applied

This experience uses the same Royal Mail Mailmark capability as the primary generator, with the type fixed to 9 ("type": 9, a 32x32 square symbol) instead of the primary's 16x48 rectangle (type 29).

Example data

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

Workflow

Enter your Mailmark-formatted data (beginning with "JGB "), confirm the preview at the fixed square type, then export SVG for the mail-piece artwork.

Job-specific settings

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

Scanning notes

Since Mailmark is a Data Matrix-based symbol, any 2D imager capable of reading Data Matrix reads it the same way.

Common mistakes

A payload shorter than 45 characters, or one not beginning with "JGB ", is the most common rejection.

Standard

Royal Mail Mailmark follows Royal Mail's own Mailmark barcode specification.
