Our offerings go well beyond our label printing services. As a consultative-custom-manufacturer, with a wealth of expertise on a variety of label-printing subjects, we are often called on to advise our clients about what might be their best choices when it comes to different formats of variable data, or bar codes. A common scenario is deciding between two types of two-dimensional (2D) barcodes, such as a QR Code and a Data Matrix Code.
In this post we take a deeper dive into both the similarities and differences between Data Matrix and QR codes. We will cover these particular codes' appearances, how to scan and print them, what applications each is best suited for and what could be the best choice for your business in the long-run.
