Barcode Artwork Test

We offer a new service that allows you to test your barcode artwork to ensure it scans effectively.

This is not an official Barcode Verification Report (which costs $59), as required by some supermarket and hardware chains. But it is a test using the same equipment and giving the same information.

This test will be conducted on your artwork, allowing you to have more confidence in the quality of the barcode before printing, or it will identify any issues with the barcode artwork.

To do this test, please purchase the quantity you require ($20 each) and then email a pdf of the barcode artwork to us. The pdf must be A4 or smaller in size and 100%. We will print it on a laser printer in B&W (so it won’t test any other print colours) and test it, then email the report to you.

You can view some sample reports below. Grades vary from A (excellent) to C (OK) to D & below, which are fails.

Test Pass A grade
Test Pass B grade
Test Pass C grade
Test Fail Decodability
Test Fail Right Margin
Test Fail modulation and magnification
