That is almost like asking how many digits are in a number. The only limit is the amount of space available for a barcode. Even the size of most scanners does not create an absolute limit because there are barcode readers that look like a pen and read the barcode information serially (one digit at a time).

Perhaps you would like to rephrase your question to find out about a particular barcode application. For example, Universal Product Codes (UPC's) usually have ten digits. The first five identify the manufacturer or distributor, and the other five identify a unique product, including a particular size or quantity of the product. UPC's do not contain any price information; that information is cross referenced by the store's computer after the UPC is scanned.
