UPCTools : UPC Barcode Software

UPC, EAN, & ISBN-13 Barcode Software and Fonts

Print UPC barcodes or ISBN-13 barcodes with UPCTools, a barcode font collection from Azalea Software. UPCTools supports EAN barcodes and JAN barcodes too. It works with any Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, or Linux/UNIX application. The barcode fonts in UPCTools can be used with Excel, Photoshop, Crystal Reports, or custom applications. Barcode fonts are flexible and powerful solutions to your UPC needs.

UPC bar codes are found on retail items that get scanned at the cash register. UPC barcode symbols are found on shipping labels, forms, and catalogs. ISBN-13 bar codes are used on book covers. EAN (European Article Number) and JAN (Japanese Article Number) barcodes are used internationally. All of these different types of bar codes can be made using UPCTools. In the end, anyone doing package design needs to create these barcodes.

The UPCTools font package includes 10 fonts that print both full-height and truncated half-height bar codes, with or without the human-readable digits beneath the bars. Both our bundled wizard and our free samle code calculate the UPC check digit automatically for you. Use our bundled wizard utility to make UPC symbols one or two bar codes quickly and easily. If you're printing multiple UPC symbols and/or printing UPC barcodes in a batch mode, we have plenty of free sample code for things like Excel and Crystal Reports.
