'''Code 25''', or "Code 2 of 5" because it is arranged so that 2 out of every 5 elements (bars and spaces between them) is wide, is a bar code format used to encode numeric data. Bars and spaces have two relevant widths, wide and narrow, and are used to encode digits in pairs, one encoded by the bars and the other by the spaces. There are specified patterns used to mark the start and end of the bar code, and optional checksums. A common use for this type of code is on cartons of merchandise shipped in the supply chain for groceries.

 '''Code 25''', or "Code 2 of 5" because it is arranged so that 2 out of every 5 bars is wide, is a bar code format used to encode numeric data. Bars have two relevant widths, wide and narrow, and each group of 5 is in a pattern of 2 wide and 3 narrow bars to encode a digit. There are specified patterns used to mark the start and end of the bar code, and optional checksums. A common use for this type of code is on cartons of merchandise shipped in the supply chain for groceries.

Bars and spaces have two relevant widths, wide and narrow, and, in the interleaved version of this format, are used to encode digits in pairs, one encoded by the bars and the other by the spaces. Non-interleaved codes just use bar widths and have uniform spaces. There are specified patterns used to mark the start and end of the bar code, and optional checksums. A common use for this type of code is on cartons of merchandise shipped in the supply chain for groceries.
