Barcode Artwork Test

We have a new service where we can test your barcode artwork, to give you an idea of whether it will scan well.

This is not an official Barcode Verification Report (which costs $59 USD) as required by some Supermarket and Hardware chains. But this is a test using the same tools and providing identical data.

This test will check your barcode artwork and give you more confidence in its quality before printing. It will also identify any issues with the barcode artwork.

To take the test, buy the required quantity (costing KR 150 each), and send us a pdf of the barcode design by email. The file should be no larger than A4, and 100% in size. We will print it on a laser printer and assess the result in black and white only – other colours will not be tested. Once the testing is complete, we will send you the report by email.

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