Interleaved 2 of 5

Interleaved 2 of 5 is a numeric-only bar code. The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the data. The code is a high-density code that can hold up to 18 digits per inch when printed using a 7.5 mil X dimension.

The 'Interleaved' part of the name comes from the fact that a digit is encoded in the bars and the next digit is encoded in the spaces. The encoded digits are interleaved together. There are five bars, two of which are wide and five spaces, two of which are wide.
