What is a Data Matrix barcode?
Data Matrix (sometimes spelled datamatrix) is a two-dimensional bar code, which can store from 1 to about 2,000 characters. The 2D Data Matrix bar code symbol is square or rectangular and can range from 0.001 inch per side up to 14 inches per side. The Data Matrix marking can be applied in three ways as long as it remains permanent through the lifecycle and not damaged or destroyed in use. UID compliance requires that all labels, marks and tags use a Data Matrix bar code.
