Leitcode Structure Introduction

Leitcode is a variant of Interleaved 2 of 5, with a different check digit. Each data in Leitcode is constructed of 5 elements - 5 bars or 5 spaces, of which two are wide and three are narrow. Each adjacent character is interleaved, alternating the spaces from one character with the bars of the other.

Leitcode is made of 9 parts: start & stop quiet zone, start & stop pattern, ZIP code, street's code number, house number, product code and a check digit.



Quiet Zone

Quiet Zone is also known as Quiet Margin, which is a blank margin surrounding the Leitcode symbol with nothing to print on. It is used for protecting Leitcode symbol.

Start & Stop Pattern

Start & Stop Pattern is a made of 2 bars and a space to indicate the beginning and ending of Leitcode data sequence.

ZIP Code

ZIP Code is also called Postal Code, which indicates postal code of the street address of the recipient. Often, ZIP Code uses the first 5 digits to represent.

Product Code
