Traditional coupon symbols (old coupon symbols) are composed of two bar codes: UPC/EAN and Code128. A
new coupon symbol is composed of a single DataBar Expanded bar code. The new coupon format offers more
options for purchase values (up to $999.99) and supports complex discount offers such as a second purchase
requirement.
An interim coupon symbol also exists that contains both types o
f bar codes: UPC/EAN and DataBar Expanded.
This format accommodates both retailers that do not recognize or use the additional information included in the
new coupon symbol, as well as those who can process new coupon symbols.
