    Probably not – they don’t read if distorted.

    Yes.

    An enlarged barcode would read no differently than a smaller copy scanned at a closer distance.

    Barcodes have been used on everything from freight trains to individual bees. I’d expect that you’re intended use is somewhere within that range in size.
