What is Barcode?

Barcodes are symbols that are decoded and read by computers or computing systems and devices by coding technical information about products. I can be called also as the alphabet of commercial products. We call the "barcode" in short, the black lines of different thicknesses that appear on the packaging, packaging or containers of the products we buy and use. Through this barcode system, product technical information can be easily transferred to data processing databases and product information can be accessed instantly.

Why is the barcode needed?

Moreover, the use of barcodes is a must.It is impossible for products that do not have a barcode to enter the national and international markets.
