Target has custom barcodes on their green bags and they work so I’m sure these do as well.

As long as there is a straight line of the barcode about 3 mm in width, the reader should have no problem reading the code.
The waterfall one most certainly cannot be read, as you can’t find a straight line perpendicularly crossing the whole barcode in width.

Just one more reason why I think Japan is awesome.

Cool barcodes.

Most of them should work though, as long as one line’s worth can be scanned by a barcode reader (which to my knownledge only needs to read a line about 2mm wide across the entire code). The one that looks like a waterfall might pose a problem.
