Free bar codes
Do you use bar codes? Perhaps you are a graphic artist, or are involved in package design or inventory control. This site offers files for some common types of bar codes in EPS, TIFF or BMP format at no cost.
These files have been successfully used on Macintosh, Windows and Linux
platforms in such programs as Quark XPress, Illustrator, PageMaker, Freehand, MS Word
and Adobe Distiller. If you need bar codes in a desktop publishing or printing
environment, look no further!
How to get your bar code file
Simply fill out the order form with details of the code you want, and it will be sent to you by email within a day or so. There are no restrictions on the number of files you may order, but if you require more than 5 please contact me
beforehand. Check the samples page if you want to see typical examples of the files.
NOTE! I cannot assign bar code numbers. If you are requesting a code to be used on a retail product, it is your responsibility to ensure the code number is correct.
Your feedback is welcome
If you use these files, I would like to hear from you. Scans of a finished product using one of my bar codes would be particularly welcome, as would any suggestions for improvement in the order form or any other area. Any feedback can be sent to barcodes@currell.net.

Limitations
-
EPS files require a PostScript printer (or a PostScript language interpreter such
as Aladdin Enterprises' Ghostscript)
for output. If you don't have a PostScript printer, you should request the TIFF or BMP file types.
-
Because of the print quality required for a readable bar code, these files may not be suitable for some low-resolution printers. Try one of the samples to verify they'll work with your software and equipment.
