You can print CODE93 barcode labels for free. It's a compact linear code for letters and numbers, so the bars take less space than CODE128 on the same data. Open the CODE93 generator, type a value, click Generate. The bars land on a real-size label. Load Excel when each row is a different code.

Good to know: CODE93 is not CODE128. Scanners must be set to read CODE93. We do not issue GS1 numbers.

How to print CODE93 barcode labels

  1. Open the CODE93 generator. No signup.
  2. Type the value. Click Generate.
  3. For a list, put {{sku}} in a CODE93 barcode and load Excel.
  4. Print a test and scan it. Then print the stack.

CODE93 vs CODE128

CODE128 is the default for warehouse SKUs. CODE93 is shorter on the same data. Use what your scanner is set to read. If it only knows CODE128, don't switch formats just to save a few millimeters.
