Where is Code 128 used?

It is widely used for shipping and packaging labels, inventory and asset tracking, and internal logistics. GS1-128 (a controlled application of Code 128) is used to carry structured supply-chain data such as batch and expiration information.

JPG or EPS for a Code 128 barcode?

Use the free JPG only for on-screen review. For scan-critical labels, download the vector EPS so the bars stay precise at any size and include the correct bar width reduction for print.
