Used by the United States Postal Service until 2009, the POSTNET barcode was

Numeric Encoding Technique) barcode was used for encoding routing data on mail

While Zint will encode PLANET symbols of any length, standard lengths used by
USPS were Planet12 (11 digit input) and Planet14 (13 digit input).

Also known as Semacode this symbology was developed in 1989 by Acuity CiMatrix
in partnership with the US DoD and NASA. The symbol can encode a large amount
of data in a small area. Data Matrix can encode characters in the
Latin-1 set by default but also supports encoding using other character sets
using the ECI mechanism. It can also encode GS1 data. The size of the
generated symbol can also be adjusted using the --vers= option or by setting
option_2 as shown in the table below. A separate symbology ID can be used to
encode Health Industry Barcode (HIBC) data which adds a leading '+' character
and a modulo-49 check digit to the encoded data. Note that only ECC200 encoding
is supported, the older standards have now been removed from Zint.
