The clear zone is the closest area to the barcode. This area (represented
by letter A in the diagram below) includes the size of the barcode plus
5mm on each side (10mm) and 5mm on the top and bottom (10mm).
There should be no print of any kind in this area.
Blank Zone (B)
The blank zone refers to a more extended area around the barcode
(represented by the letter B in the diagram below). In this diagram, the
blank zone is 100mm x 60mm. No other barcodes should be placed in
this area.
