Hang Onto Bar Code Sales

The Need to Know

Distributors need to know the desired symbology and other data to properly specify a bar code order. Necessary information includes: the type of bar code, whether it is produced vertically (picket fence) or horizontally (ladder), whether it will be paper or film stock, the number of digits encoded, the height and width of the code, the number of times the label will be printed on, the numbering sequence, the bar code size and position, whether check digits are required and whether a human-readable code must be included.
