Standard / Industrial 2 of 5 (Industrial 2 of 5)

Numeric-only linear symbology where data is encoded strictly in the width of bars while space intervals remain uniform, active in heavy manufacturing, airline baggage handling, and transport ticketing.

Governing Specification: AIM Standard 2 of 5

Data Format & Required Fields

Each digit comprises 5 bars (2 wide, 3 narrow). Spaces carry no information, allowing discrete encoding with simple printing tolerances.

Allowed Character SetNumeric digits only.
Payload Length Rule Between 1 and 30 characters
Example Valid Format1234567890

Industry Guidance & Practical Applications

  • Heavy manufacturing machinery asset tags and steel coil tagging
  • Airline baggage handling tags and airport automated luggage routing
  • Warehouse master cartons and transport cargo receipts
Packaging & Scanning Notes: Original precursor to Interleaved 2 of 5; still active across heavy industry.

Symbol Constraints & Label Guidelines

  • Lower density than Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF-14) because spaces are non-information-bearing.
  • Numeric data only.
