UPC Codes are a type of 1D barcode that is commonly used to track products in a retail or trade environment. UPC Code Labels were traditionally printed on paper, but many companies (especially industrial) now choose to print these kind of labels on vinyl because they are water-resistant and can withstand rough shipping or storage conditions. 2D Barcode/QR Code Labels 2D barcodes such as QR Codes or matrix barcodes used by UPS are an evolution of barcodes that can hold a great deal of information within a pattern of symbols or shapes.
