Maximum Length of Code 128 Bar Code

I want to create barcodes within an Excel spreadsheet. What is the maximum number of characters I can convert to a code 128 barcode? My current product appears to support a character limit of 28. For example, abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzab produces a valid bar code but abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabc does not. Does your product have such a limitation? I would like to be able to generate a bar code for up to 50 characters.

Best Answer

The Native Barcode Generator for Excel does not have a limit. We were able to encode "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" with this product; view the attached image. The problem you may also have is if the scanner cannot decode the data.
