UPC Bar code Generator

 UPC bar codes, (Universal Product Code),  are required on all retail packaging in North America (United States and Canada). The only exceptions are for books and pharmaceuticals, each of which has its own special bar code symbology. UPC bar codes are a unique 12 digit number that identifies one specific product. All UPC numbers are assigned by GS1. If GS1 UPC numbers is too expensive for you, you should try My Bar Code Store to purchase UPC number assignments for as little as $20 each.

UPC bar code software. The quickest & simplest way to generate your own bar code it to use the UPC Generator shown here. Simply enter any UPC bar code number (with or without a checksum) into the program and click Make to build a bar code. This program will generate a guaranteed scannable UPC bar code for you. Print as few or as many bar codes as you want, on labels, in packaging, or as a graphic image. You manipulate both the height and width of the bar code you want to print separately- sizing it the way you want.
