Barcode designer

Every commercial products is fitted with its own unique identification label known as a barcode. This can contain different types of characters, and there are multiple types of barcodes. These are easily created on a computer using specialized applications such as Barcode designer.

Note that the application is good to go from the moment download is done, and so you don’t have to spend any time or effort going through a setup process. This also means it can be carried around on a USB flash drive to use it on other computers as well. Don’t worry about the health status of the target PC, because no registry entries are modified in the process.

The visual design is simplistic and compact, allowing individuals of all levels of experience to quickly get the hang of things. A list shows all barcode types you can create, while the rest of the space is fitted with a preview area, as well as the input field for the characters you want to embed in the new barcode.

However, the application isn’t quite up to date with all barcode types, and you’re only able to choose from several variations of EAN and UPC, MSI, Codabar, 128 A, B, and C, PostNet, and a few more. Not all of them support both numbers and letters, but you’re pointed towards the right direction if input isn’t correct.

Apart from input, there’s also the possibility to adjust barcode height. However, you can’t customize any other visual styles, such as the background, barcode, or text color. Preview needs to be generated by pressing a dedicated button. Saving is either done to clipboard, or as BMP.

Taking everything into consideration we can state that Barcode designer comes with good intentions, and is sure to help you create simple types of barcodes with little effort. Sadly, it only supports a shallow variety of barcodes, with no customization options.
