Planet Barcode Generator

Planet barcode is used by the United States Postal Service to identify and track mail during delivery – the Postal Alpha Numeric Encoding Technique.
Planet symbols encode 12 or 14 digits only, where the last digit is a check digit, automatically calculated by Labeljoy. Therefore, only 11 or 13 digits can be entered.

Note: This type of symbology does not display visually readable text.

Planet code 11 digits
Planet encoding 11 digits + check digit
Planet barcode 13 digits
Planet encoding 13 digits + check digit

Text concatenation:
When a Planet barcode element is generated by concatenating fields or counters, the following rules apply:

  • Only numbers are allowed.
  • Only texts of 11 or 13 digits will be considered.

If a value is found that does not comply with the above rules, the barcode will not be displayed.
