About the Flattermarken Barcode

The Flattermarken barcode belongs to the Linear Codes family. Postal sorting (historical). On this page you can generate Flattermarken barcodes directly in your browser: enter your data, watch the preview update in real time, then download the finished symbol as PNG or SVG. Rendering happens locally on your device — nothing you type is ever uploaded to a server.

Linear (1D) symbologies encode data in the widths of parallel bars and spaces. They are read left-to-right by laser scanners, CCD readers, and phone cameras, and they need a clear quiet zone on both sides so the reader can locate the start and stop patterns. Linear codes hold little data — usually a short reference number — which is exactly why they remain the standard for product and asset identification.

Flattermarken codes are used for inventory and asset labels, shipping references, library cards, and equipment tags. Because the data is fixed inside the symbol at generation time, a printed Flattermarken barcode keeps working indefinitely — there is no service behind it, no expiry date, and no per-scan fee.

Flattermarken Data Format & Rules

Flattermarken Barcode — Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Flattermarken barcode generator free?

Yes. You can generate and download Flattermarken barcodes for free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Generation runs entirely in your browser — your data is never uploaded.

What data can I encode in a Flattermarken barcode?

Digits 0-9. For example: 12345. If your data does not match the expected format, the encoder will show an error instead of producing a symbol that cannot scan.

Which download formats are supported?

PNG for screens and documents, and SVG for unlimited-quality print and design work. Both formats are rendered locally in your browser.

Does a Flattermarken barcode expire?

No. The barcode is a fixed image of the data you entered — it keeps scanning for as long as the print or display lasts. If your data changes, simply generate a new barcode.
