Official UPC Codes for All Your Products

The Retail Bar Code Solution builds every type of retail bar code you could ever need. Just select the type of bar code you want to make, type your data, then click Make to build your bar code. Use this utility to make bar codes and then to copy and paste them into other Windows programs. Click on any orange circle below to view a description of exactly what that control does. Print sheets of labels, selecting exactly what size labels you have. Bar codes can be copied into Word for label printing, or into a desktop publishing program to display a bar code on your packaging. These bar code fonts are compatible with virtually any Windows program. For programs like Excel and Access see the package documentation for details on using our Visual Basic macros directly inside of those programs.

Select a bar code type

Chose the type of bar code you want to make here. UPC-A or EAN-13 for retail products. ISBN / Bookland for books. ITF-14 for multiple items in a box. And finally SCC-14 or SSCC-18 for shipping container codes.

Bar code options

Basic bar code options. Switch between human readable and standard bar codes. Human readable bar codes print the data in the bar code below the bar code patterns. Add or remove the closing box from ITF-14 bar codes. Control the optional Price Code in an ISBN bar code.

This is your bar code

This is a sample of what your bar code will look like. Note that Windows screen resolution is fairly low, so the bar code displayed on screen may not exactly match what will be printed.

Copy your completed bar code to the Windows clip board. (The Windows clip board is invisible- don't worry about where it is or how it works.) You can then paste this bar code directly into virtually any Windows program by pressing Ctrl-V or using the Edit, Paste menu in your program.

Print sheets of labels

Print a sheet of labels. Click to open a window to select your label size, and then launch your word processor with that label template. Paste the bar code into any label and add text or graphics.
