Barcodes are issued and controlled by the Uniform Product Code Council. You can contact them at (937) 435-3870 and, for a fee, they will issue your company a set of numbers which can be used for your product barcode. We can then use this number to produce barcode artwork for your label.

Yes. The best way is to provide us with PantoneTM color codes to be matched for your PVC labels, Rubber labels or Silicone Labels.  Call us if you have any questions.
