Bar Code too wide

Resolved Jeff Sherk

When I try to create a 128 barcode for my products in woocommerce, it is too wide for the default settings, and gets printed over several lines.
See this screenshot:

I need to increase the width quite a bit to get it to fit.

Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? What determines how long the bar code is (your test barcode is much much shorter).

Thanks

Hello Jeff! Thanks for your comment, it’s normal. The size depents on the SKU length. In your case it’s “oil-merch-broken-branch-1”.

I created small previews via our premium version demo https://woolabel.com/demo

1) Your SKU https://imgur.com/tfFYBQc
2) Default SKU https://imgur.com/CSCF7A7

We always recommend to use this plugin, it’s free:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/woocommerce-jetpack/

It has Autogenerate SKUs tool to make unique sku for all your woocommerce products like ‘12345’, etc

Or if you can’t change SKU for some reason, you can use different barcode type, but make sure that selected barcode type will support your SKU, check this info table from our settings:

We recommend QR-code. For example: https://imgur.com/Phl1ADb
But it’s available only in premium version, you can buy it here

Thanks,

Is a QR code the smallest (most compact) type of barcode we can get?

We can not change our sku’s and they are really really long as 128 barcodes.

Thanks

@jsherk Yes, correct, QR code is the smallest barcode type and for your case it’s perfect match
