| Once you determine which barcode you need, you need to find a way to include those barcodes in your packaging or on your barcode labels. The most flexible way to print bar codes is to use a barcode font since they will work in almost any Windows application. (And barcode fonts can also be used in Unix, DOS, or on AS/400s.) We also have links to firms that sell barcode software, so you can quickly start printing your own bar codes.
