A few Q's about barcodes...

[ReaderScars]

Anyone involved in barcoding your own goods - are these online generators safe and accurate, or do you leave it to the label printers?

And do you happen to know what size the barcodes can go down to without causing problems?

Basically I want to find out of a 30x30mm barcode will work - what do you reckon...?

Dead easy to generate yourself - EAN13 font (lots available for free, and they do work) and punch it out in Excel.

EAN-13 normal size is 25.93mm (H) x 37.29mm (W), but can be scaled down to a minimum of 80% so should just fit.

Just downloaded an EAN13 font, dropped it into NeoOffice and yep, it works - thanks guys - still a bit worried about the size though, but will do a dummy label, see if it works.
