MaxiCode has been developed by United Parcel Service (UPS). The primary application is transportation, and in particular the sorting, handling, and tracking of packages by carriers. MaxiCode symbols have a unique appearance due to their hexagonal modules and overall fixed size (28.14 mm x 26.91 mm). They have a distinct “bull’s eye” finder pattern of concentric circles.
Encodable character set: ASCII (ISO 646 IRV) (0 – 127) and ISO (8859-1) (128 – 255). Alternative character sets encodable using ECI protocol.
