UPC Bar Code Package, $139.50
This software program converts UPC bar code numbers into an official UPC bar code. Use this software to build UPC bar codes and then to copy and paste them into other Windows programs for printing. Or build a bar code and export it as a graphic file in bmp, gif, jpg, or png format. Click on any orange circled number below to view a description of what that particular control does. 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 any Windows program. For programs like Excel and Access see our documentation for details on using our Visual Basic macros directly inside of those programs.


Select the type of UPC bar code to create. UPC-A bar codes are 12 digits long and are used on virtually every retail product sold in North America. UPC-E bar codes are smaller shortened versions of UPC-A bar codes. All UPC-E bar code numbers must be specially assigned by the Uniform Code Council.

Add a 2 or 5 digit supplemental bar code after your UPC bar code. This adds extra digits of information to your bar code but should not be used unless it is required.

Modify the height of a UPC bar code without changing the width. UPC bar codes can range from .25 to 1 inch in height.

Scale the bar code width up or down by increasing or decreasing the point size. UPC-A bar codes can range from 1 to about 1.5 inches in width.

Type in your 11 digit UPC number here. Our program will calculate the checksum for you, or verify yours if you enter all 12 digits.

Click this button to make a UPC bar code from your number.

Copy your completed UPC 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 that program.

This is the string of characters to use with our bar code fonts. Note you can not just type in the UPC bar code fonts. Your UPC bar code number is converted into a data string and this data string must be used with our UPC bar code fonts.

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 may not exactly match what will be printed.
