BARCODE LABELS - Appleson Press, Inc.

Barcode Labels
Our Experience Counts - Competitive Pricing

THESE BAR CODES ARE DESIGNED TO SCAN
We can print your design plus a bar code or leave a space for on-site coding.

Nearly any stock, any size label can be bar coded and/or custom printed in up to seven colors. The key to scanability is high-contrast, accurate printing and flawless stock.

Static and Consecutive bar codes are available and we can supply printed or blank stock for on-site bar coding. Static UPC coding may be added at no charge. Note: all consecutive bar coding is priced on a per-job basis. Please ask for a qoute.

Human-readable numbers will be printed unless otherwise specified.

PLEASE TELL US:
� Type of code desired
� What characters to encode
� Static or consecutive
� Whether human-readable numbers printed above or below the bar code
