title: Barcode Generation
---
## Barcode Generation
Both [report](./report.md) and [label](./labels.md) templates can render custom barcode data to in-line images.
!!! info "img"
Barcode data must be rendered inside an `<img>` tag.
Inside the template file (whether it be for printing a label or generating a custom report), the following code will need to be included at the top of the template file:
```html
{% raw %}
<!-- Load the barcode helper functions -->
{% load barcode %}
{% endraw %}
```
### 1D Barcode
!!! info "python-barcode"
One dimensional barcodes (e.g. Code128) are generated using the [python-barcode](https://pypi.org/project/python-barcode/) library.
To render a 1D barcode, use the `barcode` template tag, as shown in the example below:
```html
{% raw %}
<!-- Don't forget to load the barcode helper! -->
{% load barcode %}
<img class='custom_class' src='{% barcode "12345678" %}'>
{% endraw %}
```
The default barcode renderer will generate a barcode using [Code128](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_128) rendering. However [other barcode formats](https://python-barcode.readthedocs.io/en/stable/codes.html) are also supported:
```html
{% raw %}
{% load barcode %}
<img class='custom_class' src='{% barcode "12345678" barcode_class="Code39" %}>
{% endraw %}
```
### QR-Code
!!! info "qrcode"
Two dimensional QR codes are generated using the [qrcode](https://pypi.org/project/qrcode/) library.
To render a QR code, use the `qrcode` template tag:
```html
{% raw %}
{% load barcode %}
<img class='custom_qr_class' src='{% qrcode "Hello world!" %}'>
{% endraw %}
```
