If you or anyone else knows of a card company person who would be willing to share their bar code knowledge, I'd appreciate the lead. Have a nice Easter weekend, Michigander Thanks for your feedback Heather.

Sorry couldn't be more help. Cheers, Heather Hi Michigander,

Can you tell me where the best bargain is for buying UPC bar codes for greeting cards? The best I found surfing was 100- (UPC w/supplemental 5 digit code) bar codes for $175. No renewal fee.

If you need your cards cut, consider laser cutting rather than traditional die cutting. You won't need to pay for a die, and you can easily make design changes.
