Having fun with Barcodes (UPC codes)
 
Barcodes grace almost every product we sell. Considering how much package real estate they command, why shouldn't they be more fun?
 
Tips
 
•  Colours* can be changed but  the colour chosen must appear black under red light, so blue and green are possible options. Here's a great tutorial link explaining the science behind the use of colour.
 
•  The number string is only there to help a human reader interpret the barcode; if nothing else, change the font!
 
•  Blank space should be left at either end so the scanner can recognise the beginning and end of the code.
 
•  There should be a healthy sized horizontal strip of uninterrupted code from the first to the last bar.
 
•  Test it! Print it out and check it using a barcode reader app on your smart phone or at the local supermarket.
