Variable Weight (Price-Embedded) Barcodes
The camera app can scan this. The Zebra app can scan this.
When a deli label starts with 2, the barcode usually is not a global product number. Retailers use the 20-29 range to embed an item code plus a weight or price, so the till can charge the exact amount.
Also called Variable weight barcode, Restricted Circulation Number (RCN), price-embedded barcode, in-store barcode.
