Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] upc code


 >>> Here's a question that you might think is off-topic, but  
actually relates to the business side of puppetry:  obtaining a UPC  
bar code for a product - like a DVD.  For instance, if you have made  
one and want to have it listed on Amazon.com, you must have that bar  
code.

There are many contradictory sites on the internet that explain the  
process, the reasons and the costs.

Anyone have any experience?

Thanks,

Robert,
The actual making of the barcode... there are different softwares  
available that do it or you could get them done and delivered from a  
web vendor while you wait I'm sure. Some use a upc type font that is  
just vertical lines, and some make vector files. Either way the  
barcode can be printed and attached or inserted in the artwork that  
prints your cd cover.

How you actually get the mysterious number, I don't know.
best,
Ed A
