Badger Tag & Label Creates Bar-Coded Products

With the recent institution of the 2005 Sunrise Date by the Uniform Code Council--which made it necessary to scan and process both eight- and 13-digit codes commonly used overseas, as well as the standard 12-digit bar-codes used in the United States--Badger Tag & Label, Random Lake, Wis., now produces the new EAN-8 and EAN-13 bar-codes.

EAN International, the global body that issues product codes overseas, uses an eight- and 13-digit system.

Badger Tag & Label also produces UPC, code 39, code 128 and interleaved 2 of 5 bar-codes. The company also prints on tags and labels that are used on consumer products or as identification for inventory control. The company can print consecutive and static (matching) digits for a variety of codes and provides a host of other services.
