What is a matrix barcode?

Just like QR codes, data matrix codes are 2D barcodes. They are usually square in shape and encode information in the form of square black and white dots, forming the so-called timing pattern. It can encode up to 1556 bytes or up to 3116 digits. This part helps scanners to locate and orient the Data Matrix code.

Another important feature is that they allow to be readed in low contrast conditions. Datamatrix codes allow coding up to 3116 ASCII characters. Depending on the number of characters, the size of the code increases forming dividing the code into several square matrix as can be seen in the following images.
