Code Type

OQ Labels should be encoded as either a QR Code or DataMatrix. A wide range of existing software libraries exists for both formats, supporting detection and decoding. For physically small targets, we recommend DataMatrix, which works better at physically small print sizes. For others, QR Codes are recommended, as they are readable by a wider range of consumer-facing tools such as smartphones.
