Use barcodes to help keep track of your inventory.
Barcodes are a series of scannable lines and spaces used to identify a unique product within seconds. It's helpful to have barcodes when you run a business, because you can keep more accurate track of your inventory at a much quicker pace than counting items by hand. If you have a business and you want to start using bar codes, you'll need to decide type of symbols you're going to use, what type of scanner you will have and how many bar codes you'll be needing.
Instructions
1. Visit barcodesinc.com (see Resources).
2. Type in the numbers or text you want to use for the item which you're creating the barcode for.
