Only use a number from your packaging specification. The valid range in this encoder is 3 to 131070.
How to use this tool
- Enter the integer from the specification.
- Generate the symbol.
- Compare it with the packaging proof.
Practical guidance
Only use a number from your packaging specification. The valid range in this encoder is 3 to 131070.
Checks before you use the output
Verify the integer against the artwork brief. A pharmacode scanner is not the same as a shop scanner.
