Why barcode testing is important

How to send products in

Why did my barcode fail?

Without accurate and scannable barcodes, you can’t sell your products, retailers can’t stock them and customers can’t buy them.

We have tested more than 1.5 million barcodes including compliance to global standards, size, colour, print quality and packaging.

Save time and money – Avoid having to redesign, reprint or recall products
Trusted service – ISO 15416 verification used by major retailers
Accuracy, safety & traceability – Ensure your barcodes meet retailer requirements
