ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Contributor: Fran Beck, FXB Consulting

eauty may be in the eye of the

beholder, but bar code accura-

cy is another matter entirely. In

some circles, you may hear sad

tales about how an otherwise

good-looking print job was

rejected by the customer only because of

“tiny” bar code inaccuracies. When you hear

this story, do not lend a sympathetic ear.

The fact of the matter is, there are no such

things as “tiny” bar code inaccuracies. A bar

code either scans correctly or it doesn’t.

There is no middle ground; no room for

“beauty in the eye of the beholder” unless

the beholder is the scanner.

Before listening to the tales about what a

harsh, cold-hearted judge of print quality a

scanner is, consider this. There are clear-cut

guidelines and procedures that have been

developed for flexographic printing of bar

codes. When adhered to, they produce accu-

rate, scannable bar codes in virtually every

circumstance, on every substrate imagin-

able. When a client’s bar code is produced

correctly, everyone benefits. And we do

mean everyone.

Note: The bar codes reproduced in this

volume are intended for illustration pur-

poses only and are not meant to represent

scannable bar codes.

BAR CODES 53

Introduction

ave you ever jumped into the

express lane at the store only

to be stopped in your tracks

by a product that won’t scan?

First the clerk runs the prod-

uct past the scanner a few

times, turning it slightly for each pass. Then,

if it’s a product in flexible packaging, there

follows a “smoothing” routine – pulling and

twisting the packaging material until the bar

code is completely flat. Finally, if that does-

n’t produce an accurate scan, a now-exas-

perated clerk holds up the package, squints

and begins to manually enter the code into

the terminal.

This wanton waste of your time is only the

tip of the iceberg when a bar code isn’t print-

ed correctly. Consider that every checker in

every store in the chain may encounter similar

problems with that product. Very soon you

can see why the retailer will complain to the

manufacturer who supplied the product in the

first place. Back charges will be levied. Then

the “multiple” effect kicks in. Multiply the

damage by the number of retailers across the

country or around the world who are cus-

tomers of the manufacturer, and you can see a

potentially catastrophic situation looming for

the entire product line. And that can translate

into a dire situation for the designer or printer

who created the error in the first place.

There is an important supply chain lesson

here. Simply put, in today’s globally integrat-

ed marketing environment, scannability

equals salability. Those little black bars and

spaces, when printed accurately as a bar

code symbol, not only prevent serious prob-

lems for trading partners, but they become

the key to unlocking a wealth of time – and

cost-saving benefits that drive the efficien-

cy of the entire supply chain.

Bar codes convey unique product identifi-

cation for manufacturers and their products

virtually everywhere in the world. They pro-

vide rapid, error-free data entry at the retail

point-of-sale. They accelerate shipping and

receiving, improve warehouse efficiency, aid

logistics and transportation, and otherwise

drive unnecessary costs out of the supply

chain for industries as diverse as healthcare,

automotive, foodservice and electronics.

Their numbering structures even provide

companies with the ability to closely track

assets, monitor work-in-progress, and con-

trol the flow of internal and external routing

systems and other identification applica-

tions.

In other words, bar codes mean business

for you and your clients. With a little supply

chain understanding, some fundamental

knowledge of the most common symbolo-

gies used, and a close attention to estab-

lished production guidelines, flexographic

printing of bar codes can generate its own

rewards in supply chain efficiencies across

industry channels.
