QR Barcode Data Formats

QR tags, GS1 barcodes & GS1 identification keys

QR barcodes can be used to encode more than just chunks of text. URLs, phone numbers, SMS/MMS, and geo data are commonly accepted data formats within QR barcode symbols and are described by ZXing. Our online QR generator creates these common QR formats:

URL  •  text  •  email  •  SMS/MMS  •  phone  •  geo  •  contact  •  calendar event

Our generator also encodes standard barcodes like UPC version A, ISBN-13, GS1-128 and GS1 identification keys in QR bar codes through the use of tags. This integrates QR on mobile devices with the existing auto ID and data collection standards and practices used in manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, distribution, and retail workflows. These tags are supported by QRdvark.
