Asset Barcode Generator FAQ

Asset Barcode Generator: Can I put my own link in a barcode?

Asset Barcode Generator FAQ: Yes, if the link uses supported characters and fits at the chosen size. Long links can make linear barcodes too dense. The builder checks this and recommends a shorter ID, larger label or QR code. The QR asset tag generator is better suited to web links.

Check the link fits at the printed size

You can enter a URL as custom content if it uses the selected barcode format’s supported characters. A URL with lowercase letters requires Code 128 in this tool. Longer strings produce wider barcodes, and reducing the bar width too far makes a physical label difficult to scan.

The builder blocks values that are too dense for the selected size. A short ID is generally easier to use in a linear barcode. For a website link, switch to the QR asset tag generator. Whether scanning a linear barcode opens a browser depends on the scanner and receiving software.
