Production guide

How to create and print a MSI Plessey barcode

MSI Plessey is a numeric symbology used mainly in selected inventory, warehouse and shelf-control systems.

Where MSI Plessey fits

  • Warehouse inventory labels
  • Shelf and storage-location control
  • Legacy numeric stock systems
  1. 1

    Enter valid MSI Plessey data

    Use digits only and preserve leading zeroes. The value and length must match the inventory application’s configured MSI convention.

  2. 2

    Confirm checks and encoding rules

    MSI implementations use several checksum conventions. Confirm the required Mod 10 or other scheme with the receiving system rather than assuming interchangeability.

  3. 3

    Print at final size and scan-test

    Size the symbol for the longest inventory value and maintain stable narrow-bar width across every shelf-label printer. Enable the correct MSI checksum option on scanners and compare the transmitted value with what the warehouse application stores.

Pre-delivery checklist

  • Use digits only and preserve leading zeroes. The value and length must match the inventory application’s configured MSI convention.

Frequently asked questions

What data can MSI Plessey encode?

Use digits only and preserve leading zeroes. The value and length must match the inventory application’s configured MSI convention.

How does MSI Plessey handle check digits?

MSI implementations use several checksum conventions. Confirm the required Mod 10 or other scheme with the receiving system rather than assuming interchangeability.

When should I not use MSI Plessey?

MSI is not a retail GTIN format and should not replace UPC or EAN on consumer products.

Does standard barcode generation use AI credits?

No. Standard barcode creation, preview, printing and export do not consume AI credits.
