What is Bar Coding?

When you manufacture and sell a product, you need to give it a price. You also need to indicate the stock number and other product information. In past generations, manufacturers and retailers had to place individual labels on the product for stock number and price, and had to conduct physical counting of stocks just to make sure that nothing is missing or inconsistent. Store cashiers needed to look at price labels in order to punch them into the register. This crude system is often subject to errors, especially if there was a switch or absence of price labels.

Bar coding has simplified inventory and merchandising management by placing all the information about a particular product right in one single label called the bar code. The bar code is easily recognizable as a small usually white square label with vertical lines of various thickness and numbers on the bottom. When the cashier runs merchandise through a bar code reader, the laser reads the bar code labels and immediately prints the product information right on the customer's receipt. The bar code reader can scan each piece of merchandise easily and accurately in a fraction of a second, thus saving valuable time for both the store and the customers.

Features of Bar Code Pro

The Bar Code Pro is a special software you can load into your store or business computer to create bar codes for your products. Bar Code Pro comes with various templates you can choose from, and they are accurate up to one micron. The software has an extensive library of symbols and graphics which you can use and these are adaptable to your printer's resolution.

Just choose a template, enter the product data into the prompts, then save your data. You can print the data through a standard bar code printer or your office printer. When you use a thermal bar code label printing machine, you don't need to cut the bar code labels to size, as they are ready for sticking onto packages.

Supermarkets find Bar Code Pro very easy and fast. For instance, meat dealers can weigh the meat, enter its product code, and right away obtain the meat's bar code label through a bar code label printing machine.

How to Get Bar Code Pro for Your Business

You can easily buy Bar Code Pro software and printers through online sites for about a few hundred dollars for each of the software and printer. You can get a download or CD version either as Windows or Mac Bar Code Pro. The site also sells printing supplies, accessories and software upgrades.
