Printing Bar Codes

There are several methods of getting printed bar codes:

1) Buying photocomposed bar codes from a label manufacturer.

2) Printing your bar codes with inexpensive labeling software on your

personal computer's dot matrix, laser, or inkjet printer.

3) Printing bar codes on a specialized bar code label printer.

4) For manufacturers who need bar codes printed in their product's

packaging, use purchased film masters or use bar code fonts

suitable for press work.

Whatever printing source you decide upon, there are a few common sense tips to

pass on:

1) Stay away from colored bar codes (use black) and colored

backgrounds (use white). Any other colors lower the contrast

between bars and spaces and therefore lower readability.

2) Do thorough readability testing on any labels before

distribution. Be careful. Don't discover a problem after you

have distributed 10,000 labels that need to be recalled.

Pre-printed Labels

If the only bar code application you are doing is an application such as fixed

asset inventory tracking and employee badges, pre-printed serialized labels

make a lot of sense. Photocomposed labels are usually very high quality and

you can buy 5000 for around $300. Libraries typically use pre-printed

labels...Why? Because the labels need to last for 25 years and the volume is

usually 100,000 per library. High quality, durable, laminated photocomposed

labels are usually used. Companies like Data2 (800-227-2121 or

www.data2.com) supply such labels.

*You can also print high quality durable labels on a thermal transfer printer

using XT Polyester label stock or on a laser printer with a polyester label stock

(call Worth Data for our Worth Poly™ Polyester Laser Label stock); such stock

is more expensive than paper.

Printing on PC Printers

With the proper PC software, today’s printers are capable of printing excellent

quality bar codes. Ink Jet and Dot Matrix printers cannot print high- density bar

codes, but laser printers can. Laser printers actually print the best quality bar

codes of any commonly available printing technology.
