Making Barcodes

Because we are planning to place these dry pack canning items in the retail stores (in cooperation with the NaDMA emergency plan services), we had to put barcodes on the labels. This was at first a task which I was not sure I wanted to undertake...but it sure would make it easier for the stores to account for and then commuincate a need for more supplies from us.
And so, I searched and found a website that allows you "make" your own barcodes with the distinct names of your individual products. The good news is... it's FREE!
So here it is for all of your who will need to comply for your own supply purposes.

p.s. Enjoy! and, it's really easy. All you have to do is type in the name of the product and it autmatically makes the barcode. Then you cut and paste it onto your specific label. But, be sure and take the label for the Bureau of Standards to approve as we did.
