Barcode Verification
Some of the larger retail companies require bar code verification for every product on their shelves. Typically this is supermarket chains such as Woolworths and Bunnings. A verification report is simply a test of the barcode image. A verifier grades the barcode image depending on how easy it is for scanning machines to read it (a pass grade is A, B, C or D). Verification is usually done on the final printed barcode image on the product label or packaging.
Our verification reports are done to internationally recognized standards and use the highest quality verification technology. If your retailer requires barcode verification, please order a verification report here:

“What do I do next?”
If you have ordered a verification report from us, then the next step is to send us a copy of your barcode image (preferably a physical copy rather than a digital image). Please post the printed barcode (on its label or packaging) to us for verification (see our postal address).
Just over ten per cent of the bar codes we verify for our customers fail the test. Therefore, if you are getting your bar code verified, it is important to make sure that your bar code complies with the information listed in the following two links:
1. The official barcode standards

Additional Information About Verification:
A barcode verifier is different from a barcode scanner. It is a precision machine capable of estimating how easily the barcode will be read by most scanners in retail shops. The verifier machine produces a report which indicates how easily the barcode scans.
Barcode scanners vary widely in how accurate they are. In general, the more expensive the barcode scanner, the more accurate it is. Therefore some high-quality scanners may be able to accurately read poor-quality barcodes even if the barcodes have failed verification.
