There are different types of 2D barcodes and they can be decoded either using a smartphone or using specific readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before going into the more detail on modern 2D codes, it is worth mentioning that their predecessors were the alphanumeric serial codes, used for decades due to being very simple and easily read.<strong><br>The first barcodes<\/strong> were introduced in the 40s and are still used on many retail products. The fact that they can be read automatically<strong> reduces checkout times and the risk of errors<\/strong>. Barcodes have been a real revolution for small and large producers throughout the last century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this,<strong> the problem related to the amount of information to be encoded has arisen since the 80s<\/strong> due to the fact that barcodes are only able to contain a limited amount of data. To overcome this problem, two-dimensional codes were introduced to the market and this often removes the need for separate external databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

we\u2019re used to <strong>is made up of light and dark lines that represent letters, numbers, or a combination of the two.<\/strong> It is generally accompanied by a numerical code (EAN) and can be found on any product on the market.<br>Despite being effective for articles and consumer goods, <strong>this code is not enough to track<\/strong> and identify a more complex product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why <strong>the DataMatrix<\/strong> code was created, <strong>nearly thirty years after the barcode<\/strong> was introduced. It has been deemed the nephew or third generation of the barcode. <br>The major difference between the two is that the latter is an <strong>analogical<\/strong> code, meaning that the information it holds <strong>must be a certain size<\/strong> and in perfect condition in order to be read, both in terms of contrast and in the positioning of the elements.&nbsp; <br>Unlike the bar code, the <strong>DataMatrix code<\/strong> is digital, much easier to read and more difficult to damage due to how small it is (usually between 5 and 10mm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img  title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"967\" height=\"645\" data-id=\"199126\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasit.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcatura-laser-di-precisione-per-il-settore-dentale-3-edited-1.webp\"  alt=\"Marcatura-laser-di-precisione-per-il-settore-dentale-3-edited-1 The laser marking of 2D Codes\"  class=\"wp-image-199126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasitlaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcatura-laser-di-precisione-per-il-settore-dentale-3-edited-1.webp 967w, https:\/\/www.lasitlaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcatura-laser-di-precisione-per-il-settore-dentale-3-edited-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.lasitlaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcatura-laser-di-precisione-per-il-settore-dentale-3-edited-1-65x43.webp 65w, https:\/\/www.lasitlaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcatura-laser-di-precisione-per-il-settore-dentale-3-edited-1-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 967px) 100vw, 967px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img  title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"694\" height=\"478\" data-id=\"170067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lasit.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Automotive-Sample04.webp\"  alt=\"Automotive-Sample04 The laser marking of 2D Codes\"  class=\"wp-image-170067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lasitlaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Automotive-Sample04.webp 694w, https:\/\/www.lasitlaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Automotive-Sample04-300x207.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.lasitlaser.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Automotive-Sample04-65x45.webp 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-differences-between-qrcodes-and-datamatrix-codes\">What are the differences between QRcodes and DataMatrix codes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The QRcode (abbreviated from <strong>Quick Response Code<\/strong>) was developed to allow rapid decoding of its content. As you can see in the image, the QRcode is different from the DataMatrix and <strong>the largest graphic space is occupied by geolocation information.&nbsp;<\/strong>A QRcode is able to hold up to <strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">2.335 alphanumeric characters<\/strong>, has a <strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">30% error correction capability<\/strong> and is mainly used for <strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">online and commercial applications<\/strong>. The best thing about this code is its ability to handle <strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">special characters<\/strong> (such as the Japanese alphabet) and the ability to<strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\"> interface easily with networked resources<\/strong>.&nbsp;<strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">The DataMatrix code<\/strong> on the other hand can hold up to <strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">4.296&nbsp;alphanumeric characters<\/strong>, <strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">33% error correction capability<\/strong> and can enclose a large volume of information in a very small space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it is the<strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\"> ideal solution for database tracking and supply systems<\/strong> for professional use. The <strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\">high readability<\/strong> also makes DataMatrix codes more suitable for<strong style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );\"> industrial applications<\/strong> in various sectors and satisfies even the most demanding producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting fact about the <strong>QRcode is that it is often applied to the packaging of the product<\/strong>, so once the package is discarded, the information is lost.<br>\n<br>\n<strong>DM codes are applied directly to the product,<\/strong> to hidden areas, so that any useful information is preserved but the design and aesthetics are not compromised.<br>\n<br>\n<strong>Something curious that both of these codes have in common is<\/strong> that they both require a white border, which is called a <strong><em>quiet zone<\/em><\/strong>. This guarantees correct reading and interpretation of the data present.<br>\nThus, we can conclude that the advantages of the DataMatrix code are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The large amount of information it can hold <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Its dynamism<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Its durability<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Its small
