Bar Code Graphics, Inc.

Our involvement with bar codes and item identification resulted from our participation with the Uniform Code Council's technical committee for creating the printing specifications for UPC symbols in 1974.  Since then we have emerged as both a leading service bureau for bar code artwork and preprinted tags/labels as well the top authority on bar code symbol quality.  

Today we have an impressive client base of over 39,000 companies. (To view partial list, click here)

Our customers range from small independent book publishers to the top worldwide retailers. In order to keep our customers up to date on the most current technology and specifications,  we are actively involved with varying bar code technical committees for industries including Publishing, Printing, Retail, Healthcare, and Automotive.

Our success is a result of our commitment to the highest standards in product quality, innovative technology and extraordinary customer service. Under a single corporate umbrella, we provide an array of products and services geared at being the "best in class" for their categories.

Bar Code Artwork (Digital Barcode Files) (www.createbarcodes.com)

Bar Code Graphics, Inc. has reinvented the concept of bar code origination by creating the only online digital bar code service, which creates the most accurate resolution based bar code symbols available. In addition, our online application is the only program which has received GS1 Certification for graphic bar code files.

 

Pre-Printed Label/Tag Service Bureau (www.orderbarcodes.com)

With an emphasis on quality and quick turnaround, the BCG Labeling Service Bureau provides an array of printing services. Our services are geared to both small companies requiring minimal quantities of label to customized program for large retail and pharmaceutical suppliers. Through a combination of thermal transfer, flexographic, and high speed color laser printers, we can fulfill labeling needs for most applications.

 

BCG Testing Center & Compliance Services

We have become the largest unbiased testing center in North America for point of sale and logistical bar code symbol evaluations. Due to varying barcode compliance requirements, our testing department reviews over 3,000 barcode submissions each year.  In addition, Bar Code Graphics administers POS and shipping label compliance for many of the top US retailers. Our award winning program offers retailers and manufacturers a process to enable their suppliers to be compliant to their requirements through education and substantiated validation of compliance infractions.

 

The Trading Partner Information Exchange (www.tradingpartner.info)

Since retail suppliers are challenged by varying requirements which constantly change and stiff penalties for non-compliance, it is imperative that they remain current on all their customers' business requirements (EDI, Routing, Vendor Manual). The Trading Partner Information Exchange is a source for retail trading partner data and provides an announcement service which will direct vendors to a retailer's supplier website when necessary.

 

Premium Blank Laser Label Media

Our blank laser labels far and away the best stock available for use on sheet-fed laser printers. By utilizing a high imaging face stock, aggressive adhesive, and an un-gummed perimeter (1/64") around each die cavity,  our label stock provides consistent print quality and reduces printer maintenance.

 

Publisher Services

Bar Code Graphics provides assistance to book publishers enabling them to properly mark their products and shipments.  In addition to providing discounted book printing and pre-printed labels, we also assist with online marketing and other publisher related services.  Each year we provide support to thousands of book authors/publishers who value the personal customer service we provide.

 

 

"We'll take advantage of every technology available, to continue to grow and improve, but our vision is clear...to be the best supplier our customers do business with."
