Commercial products are all fitted with a personal identification number which comes hidden in the form of a barcode. There is a unique code for every product, and there are tons of different barcode types which can hold specific character types. In this regard, Universal Barcode Maker comes as a powerful environment to create and print series of barcodes.

Easily select barcode input type

The visual design can feel a little rough around the edges, but the general layout is incredibly intuitive, with three steps to the entire operation. These are clearly delimited and don’t require much effort on your behalf, but mostly attention so you don’t get values wrong and mess up the entire project.First up is the barcode input data. Input mode is selected from a drop-down menu, which can be sequence, single or multi line text, as well as spreadsheet. Here is where you also configure dedicated values depending on the selected input type, which can include prefix and suffix codes, sequence array, or values for multiple line text.

Customize barcode elements and page layout

The second step is where you get to customize the barcode. A title can be added, which is an optional step. The type of barcode is selected here, with an abundance of types including QR code, or ISBN code generator.You can choose a different font, size, whether or not to show text label, alignment of the barcode, stretch option, rotation, and more. Additionally, a set of sliders help you manually adjust the height and width of the barcode, with a real time updating preview both of a single code, and on the paper sheet.Last step you reach is the page layout. It comes with general options you find in most printable documents. Based on your input method, barcodes can stretch on multiple columns or even pages. There’s the possibility to print out, or export as BMP, EMF, or PNG.A set of additional options can be used for in-depth customization of barcodes. On the one hand, there’s the sequence generator which is especially handy for printing different codes for a large variety of products. On the other hand, custom ISBN codes can be generated, copied to clipboard, or saved as pictures.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Universal Barcode Maker is indeed a powerful workspace in which you can design barcodes of various popular types. Customization options allow you to work on the label shape, as well as the page layout. In the end, results can either be printed out, or saved as pictures.
