1 Scope
Position of commodity barcode symbols
GB/T 14257 2002
This standard establishes the selection principle of commodity bar code symbol position and also provides the guidance of commodity bar code symbol placement. This standard is applicable to the design of commodity bar code symbol position. 2 Normative references
The following documents are referenced in this standard and become the terms of this standard. For all referenced documents with dates, all amendments (excluding errata) or revisions attached to them are not applicable to this standard. However, the parties who reach an agreement based on this standard are encouraged to study whether to use the latest versions of these documents. For all undated referenced documents, their latest versions are applicable to this standard GB12904 Commodity bar code
GB/T12905 Bar code terminology
3 Terms and definitions
GB12901, (B/T12905) and the following terms and definitions are applicable to this standard. 3.1
The front of the commodity packaging 3.2
The back of the commodity packaging The surface of the commodity packaging opposite to the front of the commodity packaging 4.4 Principles for selecting the position of the barcode symbol
4.1 Basic principles
The selection of the position of the barcode symbol should be based on the principle that the symbol position is relatively uniform, the symbol is not easily deformed, and it is easy to scan and read. 4.2 Preferred position
The preferred position of the barcode symbol should be in the lower right area of the back of the commodity packaging. 4.3 Other options
When the back of the commodity packaging is not suitable for placing the barcode symbol, choose another suitable surface of the commodity packaging to place the barcode symbol in the lower half of the name side: For large or bulky commodities, the barcode symbol should not be placed on the bottom of the commodity packaging. 4.4 Edge principle
The distance between the barcode symbol and the adjacent edge of the commodity packaging should not be less than 8mm or greater than 102mm. 4.5 Directional measurement
4.5.1 General
The barcode symbol on the product packaging should be placed vertically and horizontally, as shown in Figure 1a). When placed horizontally, the characters of the barcode symbol for human identification should be read from left to right. If the printing quality cannot be guaranteed in the printing direction and the curvature and area of the product packaging surface do not allow, the barcode symbol can be placed vertically, as shown in Figure 1). When placed vertically, the direction of the characters of the barcode symbol for human identification should be coordinated with other graphics and texts around the barcode symbol. 4.5.2 Symbol direction on curved surface
When placing the barcode symbol parallel to the generatrix of the curved surface on the product packaging, the angle of the barcode symbol surface should not exceed 30°, see Figure 2; the maximum value of the barcode symbol magnification factor that can be used is related to the diameter of the curved surface. See Appendix: General angle of barcode symbol table 137
GB/T 14257---2002
is greater than 30°. The barcode symbol should be placed perpendicular to the generatrix of the curved surface, see Figure 34.6 Avoid choosing positions
Barcode symbols should not be placed in places with perforations, punching cuts, openings, binding nails, wire drawing, seams, folds, hems, overlaps, corrugations, rises, wrinkles, other graphics and rough textures. Barcode symbols should not be placed at corners or places with excessive surface curvature. The barcode symbol should not be placed under the fold or flap of the package. Clean

GB/T14257:2002
For box-type packaging, the barcode symbol should be printed on the lower right half of the back of the packaging, close to the edge, see Figure 4a). Alternatively, it can be printed on the lower right half of the front side, see Figure 4b). The spacing from the edge should comply with the provisions of 4.4. Back

b) Optional
The barcode symbol should be printed on the lower right half of the back or front of the packaging, see Figure 5. The barcode symbol should not be placed on the bottleneck or neck of the pot. When the barcode symbol is placed parallel to the generatrix of the curved surface, refer to Appendix A to select the appropriate magnification factor and X dimension. Note: For commodity barcodes, the X dimension is the module width. 5.3 Can and tube packaging
The barcode symbol should be placed on the lower right half of the back or front of the packaging, see Figure 6. The barcode symbol should not be placed where there are corrugations, seams and drop lines. When the barcode symbol is placed parallel to the generatrix of the curved surface, refer to Appendix A to select the appropriate magnification factor and X scale. 5.4 Barrel and basin type packaging
The barcode symbol is placed on the lower right half of the back or front of the packaging, see Figure 7a), b). When the back, front and side are not placed. The barcode symbol can be placed on the lid of the packaging, but the depth h of the lid should not be greater than 12mm, see Figure 7c). 5.5 Bag-type packaging
The barcode symbol should be placed on the lower right side of the back or front of the package, as close to the middle of the bag as possible, or on the flat, wrinkle-free part of the bag used to fill the contents, as shown in Figure 8. The barcode symbol should not be placed at the seam or under the folded edge.

The barcode symbol should be placed in the lower right half of the back of the package, close to the edge. When the back is not placed, the barcode symbol can be placed on the front of the package, and the barcode symbol should be away from the protruding part of the blister. When the height H of the protruding part of the blister exceeds 12nmm, the barcode symbol should be as far away from the protruding part of the blister as possible, see Figure 10. Back

The barcode derivatives on the A and B parts of the label are exactly the same, which is the commodity barcode symbol marking the commodity. The A part of the label should be firmly attached to the product packaging, and the B part should not be attached to the product packaging. When the product is scanned and settled through the S system, the A part of the label should be torn off, and the store salesperson should type the barcode on that part for settlement, and then destroy that part. The A part of the label should be retained on the product packaging for inspection. The part of the label with a double barcode symbol is not considered as an external part of the product transportation process. The A part of the double barcode symbol label (auxiliary sticker) can be omitted on the back
