2．按维数分为一维、二维
(1)普通的一维条码。普通的一维条码自问世以来，很快得到了普及和广泛应用。但由于一维条码的信息容量小，如商品条码仅能容纳13位数字。因而应用范围受到限制。
(2)二维条码。二维条码的符号是在水平和垂直两个方向印刷标识，以“面”来储存信息的。除信息容量大外，还具有可靠性高、保密防伪性强、易于制作和成本低等优点。二维码制的条码有：四九条码、16K条码、417条码、矩阵式二维条码等。
2、二维条码的特性
信息容量大，不依赖数据库和计算机网络。纠错能力强，可靠性高。编码范围广，信息种类多样化。识读扫描便利多样。容易制作且成本很低。
（五）条码符号的印制位置
贸易单元条码符号印制在储运单元外包装的所有四个垂直面上；也可以旋转在相邻两个垂直面上；如果仅能印制一个条码符号，那么应根据配送约束条件和需求选择印制面，以保证在储存和配送过程中条码符号便于识读。
