The main difference between Code 39 and Code 128 – as you can see from the example images above – is that Code 128 has a much higher data density than Code 39. Therefore, we recommend that you label very small items using a Code 128 barcode. Most scanning machines can easily read both types of barcodes (however, some scanners cannot read barcodes that contain alphabetic letters). Therefore, it is safest to use numeric digits, if possible, unless you know that your barcode scanner can cope with alphabetic letters too).
Note: Code 128 and Code 39 should not be used for products that are for sale in retail stores (retail products need EAN barcodes).
