What is an UPS Maxicode?

The UPS Maxicode symbol is an international 2-D barcode. Its design is based on a symmetrical bullseye, which is centered on the symbol and surrounded by eight hexagonal dots. The symbol is capable of holding 93 characters of information, and it can be chained with 8 others. It uses an error-correcting, centered-on-bullseye pattern that can be scanned by a scanner. In addition to shipping data, a MaxiCode can store other types of information, including billing and warehousing addresses.
