Barcode Artwork Test

We have a new service where we can test your barcode artwork, to give you an idea of whether it will scan well.

This is not an official Barcode Verification Report (which costs $440) as required by some supermarket and hardware chains. But is a test using the same equipment and giving the same information.

This test will be done on your artwork so you can have more confidence about the quality before you go to print or it will tell you what problems there are with the barcode artwork.

To do this test, please purchase the quantity you require ($160 each), and then email a pdf of the barcode artwork to us. The pdf must be A4 or smaller in size, and 100%. We will print it on a laser printer in black and white (so it won’t test any other print colours) and test it, then email the report to you.

You can view some sample reports below. Grades vary from A (excellent) to C (OK) to D & below which are fails.
