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.
A grade Test Pass
B gradeTest Pass
C grade Test Pass

Buy Barcode Images
Already have barcode numbers but need to buy barcode images? We can make your barcode images and email them to you in 5 minutes.
If you don’t own your barcode numbers then you cannot order images for them. Barcodes numbers come from an international system to ensure the each barcode number is unique. If you need barcode numbers (with images) please order the ‘Barcode Package’ (numbers and images) here.
Enter your barcode number into the “additional information” section on the checkout page.
Once an order is received you will receive an email with the images in 4 different formats (jpeg, png, svg & pdf).
Your barcode images will be emailed to you at standard size (38mm wide by 25mm tall). You (or your designer/printer) can resize the images if necessary. The smallest recommended size is 80% of standard barcode size (ie. about 30mm x 20mm).

Barcode orientation depends on the curvature of the packaging
If the barcode is going on a flat surface (e.g. a cardboard box), the preferred orientation of the barcode is “picket fence” (where the barcode bars are like a fence, and the barcode number is at the bottom).
If the barcode is going on a curved surface (e.g. a bottle) the preferred orientation of the barcode is “ladder” (where the barcode is rotated so that the bars are like a ladder). When a barcode is printed onto a curved surface, sometimes the extremes of the barcode disappear around the curve, and can’t be read by a barcode scanner – rotating the barcode, so it looks like a ladder avoids this issue.
Please note that barcode orientation can be determined by the printing process. Depending on the printing process you use, you may find that you get a much higher printing quality if the bars of the barcode run in the direction of the print (“web direction”) – in this situation, it is best to print the barcode in the direction of the print if possible.
Place barcode on a smooth surface
Make sure the barcode is placed on a smooth surface so that no part of the barcode is on a crease or edge in the packaging. The barcode should not wrap around a corner. No staples should go through the barcode. Don’t print on perforations, seams, folds, or absorbent paper.
Ensure there is sufficient space around your barcode
Make sure there is sufficient space around the barcode symbol, and that other symbols or text don’t encroach on it. A retail (EAN-13 or UPC-A) barcode has a 2mm-3mm “quiet zone” (blank margin) on both the left and right sides. Make sure that these quiet zones are left as they are, and aren’t cropped off or overlapped with other symbols/text.
If you have small packaging or limited space for the barcode symbol, you can reduce your EAN-13 (or UPC-A) barcode down to 80% of standard size – i.e. down to about 30mm wide x 20mm high. We don’t recommend reducing your barcode size any further than this. The smaller the barcode the trickier they are to print well. Some FMCG stores will reject barcodes that are less than 30x20mm.
Avoid printing too close to the edge of a product. This is where the checkout operator may hold the item and so block the barcode. 8mm from the edge is the official recommendation, and no closer than 5mm from the edge.
Where to position barcodes on books and magazines
Book ISBN barcodes should be printed on the lower right of the book’s back cover.
Magazine and newspaper ISSN barcodes should be printed on the front cover at the bottom.

Barcode Registration
“Barcode Registration” means that you can register your barcode number and product/company details on the International Barcodes Database (information that you submit to that database also filters through to several other online barcode databases).
Add the quantity you require to the cart, and then proceed to check out. Please enter your barcode number(s) in the “additional information” section when you get to the check out page.
Once we receive your order for Barcode Registration we will email you to request proof of ownership (so that we can verify that you are the owner of that barcode number). We will then activate your barcode number for registration and give you instructions for how to register your barcode.
Please note that Barcode Registration is included for free if you buy one of our EAN or UPC barcode packages or barcode numbers.
