Calling the 2D bar code the wave of the future is living in the past. It is a vital and integral part of the business community today. Companies as diverse as UPS, Ford and Wal-Mart already require 2D information on their shipping labels, and each day other major corporations are following suit.

Why then has the 2D bar code become so imperative? Simply because it allows the customer to fasten a virtual database of information on an area the approximate size of a postage stamp. With the 2D bar code’s unique symbology, its mark can carry as much as 1.1 machine-readable kilobytes of data.

Previously, standard barcodes were forced to rely upon outside databases with real-time links. The 2D bar code actually is the database--a database that travels wherever you need it to go. From package tracking to public records; from inventory control to ID Cards, the 2D technology allows people to store a world of information on a symbol the size of a fingerprint.

Increased output is obviously a goal of every company, and the 2D Barcode is the optimum tool to augment productivity. 2D technology provides the advantages of digital data communications combined with the ease of a standard bar code. Very affordable, its size adapts to the customer’s needs. Created using standard bar code printers and basic media, it is simple to maintain and has exceedingly vigorous error correction capabilities.

Paragon understands the need for today’s company to have the flexibility of moving from standard bar codes to 2D and back. All of our 2D equipment, from scanners to printers to verifiers, has the ability to read and create typical 1D bar codes, giving your company a harmonious barcode solution.

The Auto Identification industry is growing dramatically and 2D technology is directly at the forefront. Paragon Data Systems carries the pioneering 2D products that furnish your company with the tools to be at the forefront as Auto ID evolves into the new millennium.
