In order for a UPC bar code to be properly duplicated during printing, high precision bar code artwork should be used. Bar code artwork can be obtained either as a piece of photographic film or as a digital bar code file. Today, most graphic designers and printers require their customers to provide artwork in electronic format and EPSymbols (digital barcode files) are commonly requested. In order to maintain a high level of precision, digital bar code files should be provided in an vector-based EPS (encapsulated postscript) file format.


Companies requiring EPSymbols can generate UPC barcodes online via  www.createbarcodes.com. This application is the only GS1 certified software solution to create high quality eps formatted bar code files.

For only $10.00 ( US ) per bar code, users can create & download or e-mail high precision graphic bar code files - anytime, 24/7.
