Barcodes are a tried and trusted technology, a series of vertical lines that store data in a way that computers understand think of them as a zebra's stripes, each pattern unique and informative. Here's what you need to know about barcodes:

  • Barcodes are ideal for environments that demand speed and precision, like retail checkouts or inventory tracking.
  • They typically store limited data such as product numbers or a simple identifier which reference a database.
  • Scanning barcodes is straightforward, requiring a simple laser scanner it's technology that's stood the test of time.

At PCID , we ensure that your barcode plastic cards are printed with the highest level of clarity, improving scan reliability and thereby reducing the chance for errors during processing.

On the flip side, QR codes are the younger, more intricate cousins of barcodes. These are the speckled squares you see more and more across businesses and products, carrying with them a treasure trove of data. QR codes are unique in that:

  • They can store a significant amount of data, including URLs, text, or even small images.
  • QR codes can be scanned using smartphones and dedicated scanners alike, offering versatile scanning options.
  • They are resilient to damage; even if part of the code is obscured or defaced, the information can often still be retrieved.

PCID is all about upgrading your experience-our QR code plastic cards integrate seamlessly into tech-savvy environments where information breadth and flexibility are key.

Choosing between a barcode and QR code for your plastic cards is not just a techy decision. It's about asking the right questions about your unique context. We help you evaluate factors like:

  1. The type and quantity of data you need to store on the card.
  2. The environment in which the cards will be used indoors or outdoors, user-operated or automated.
  3. The user experience you're aiming for should users whip out their phones, or would a traditional scan be more efficient?

Don't get caught in the weeds. Let us at PCID walk you through these considerations, leading you to make a choice that's not just informed but spot-on for your operation's needs.
