7 Amazing Japanese Custom Barcodes
Posted on 08. Dec, 2009 by dimaks in News, Technology
I thought that we have seen a lot already about Japanese ingenuity in many aspects by having read about monkey waiters in Japan or perhaps being amazed at their hacked Burger King Windows 7 Whopper, but it looks like, alongside the country’s soaring high into the apex of development, the Japanese people seem to lurk further into the details of nifty things and they came up with these very innovative barcode designs. The products featured here includes bottled drinks, candies, mayonnaise and sweets and delicacies, including the old time famous vehicle make – Ford. The photos are all borrowed from www.d-barcode.com and I claim no amount of ownership or whatsoever.

There is still a bunch of them at d-barcode.com, just in case you are curious.

I’ve been distorting barcodes for fun since 2001. Check out my series of barcode shapes that are compatible with scanning technology.

Wow this is cool. Japanese can really push their limits when it comes to technology. I like the bar code with the rain and the anime with an umbrella.

Those are very cute barcodes. I wonder though if those with Japanese characters can be read by ordinary barcode readers.

Marvs,
Those with Japanese characters are not actually codes. They are the corresponding products and their names in Japanese.

In terms of trend and design advancement, Japan won’t fail you. In fact its a habit of ours to asked our uncles and aunts for new clothes/apparels whenever they’ll be coming to Manila. Japanese fashion is so advanced, the design they have now will trend in the Philippines 2 to 3 years later. By that time, those clothes were all worn out.

WOW! Fantastic find you have here Dimaks!
I never thought that such fine prints in the barcode are “finely customized” and I agree to most of the comments here. This is a cute collection!
