What is PZN barcode and how to make it

　　Most German health products will have a PZN code, usually consisting of 7-8 digits. PZN stands for Pharma Zentral Nummer, which is issued by the German Pharmaceutical Product Information Center (IFA) and approved by the German Drug Regulatory Agency (BFARM) as a printed code for infant milk powder, health food, medicine and some cosmeceuticals. This code indicates that the product is approved and registered by the German Food and Drug Administration, indicating that the product has German level of safety and quality assurance. Of course, not all German health products have PZN code, PZN code is not mandatory application, if the manufacturer does not apply to the German Food and Drug Administration, then the product does not have PZN code, but it does not affect the marketing of the product.

　　There are two variants of PZN, the original PZN7 and the new PZN8. The main difference is in the coding capability. PZN7 is made up of six or seven digits, while PZN8 is made up of seven or eight digits, so PZN8 can also include a wider range or more drug identification numbers.

　　The following describes how to make PZN barcode in bar code label printing software. First, open the software, click the "barcode" button on the left of the software, draw a barcode on the canvas, select the barcode type as PZN7 in the pop-up interface, and manually input barcode data.

　　After the bar code is made, we see that "PZN" code is added in front of the number, because PZN character is a fixed part of THE PZN bar code, and in the bar code label printing software does not need to input this character alone, the software will automatically generate.

　　The asterisk at the beginning and end of the bar code can be displayed according to the need. The above is the introduction and production method of PZN bar code.
