Code 128 Length Calculator
Alphanumeric
L = (11C + 35)X
Numeric Only - Code C
L = (5.5C + 35)X
where
C = total number of characters (data
characters, code characters and shift characters)
X = X-dimension (width of the smallest element in
mils.)
L = length of symbol (not including quiet zone,
output in mils)
This calculator will compute the length of a Code
128 bar code given the total number of
data characters and X dimension. Note that if numeric only is
selected, the number of characters must be an even number.
