Standard 2 of 5 (S25 or STF) is a simple, numeric-only barcode symbology that encodes digits using a pattern of wide and narrow bars. Developed for industrial applications, S25 provides a compact way to represent numeric data without requiring complex encoding schemes.
✔ Numeric-Only Encoding – Supports digits 0-9
✔ Compact Design – Uses variable-width bars for efficient space usage
✔ No Checksum (Basic Version) – Simple implementation
✔ Industrial Applications – Widely used in warehouse sorting and photo processing
The S25 format uses:
Two wide bars and three narrow bars per character (hence “2 of 5”)
No start/stop characters in its basic form
Optional checksum versions for improved accuracy
The number “1234” would be represented as alternating patterns of wide and narrow bars for each digit.
Warehouse Sorting Systems – Package and pallet tracking
Airline Ticket Numbering – Early baggage handling systems
Photo Finishing – Film processing identification
Industrial Manufacturing – Component tracking
