With BarTender, a few quick mouse motions are all it takes to combine bar codes, text and graphics into sharp looking, professional quality labels. And moving and resizing objects on your labels is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
And customizing is easy. Carefully organized menus and "pop-up" dialogs display even the most advanced options in plain, easy-to-understand words. And, with the industry's most powerful Undo command, even beginners never have to worry about mistakes. And advanced users still have all the power they'll ever need.
BarTender gives you total control over your label's appearance. Specify any size and quantity of bar codes and any size and style of text on any size label (or page). Choose from nearly twenty bar code languages, including all of the major symbologies, as well as two-dimensional and postal bar codes.
