BARCODE FORGE – comprehensive barcode software for desktop and label printers, compatible with all printers with Windows drivers. The software is trusted by over 6000 companies and institutions.
Barcode Software for High-Quality Label Printing
An essential function of barcode software is to ensure the highest barcode quality that the chosen printer can deliver. This is particularly important for label printers, as they often have a low resolution.
Our barcode software automatically adjusts the bar widths of all barcodes on the label to match the specific resolution of the printer, ensuring maximum readability.
Printing Barcode Labels of Any Size and Format
Printing on continuous labels, roll labels and label sheets (A4 pages with multiple labels) is just as easy with our barcode software. Hundreds of templates for popular labels and stickers from Avery, Herma, Dymo, Brother and other manufacturers are included. The software can also print barcodes on A4 documents.
Data Import from Excel, Access, ODBC, CSV, ...
Our barcode software imports data for label printing directly from MS Excel, MS Access, MS SQL, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB.
Data from many other sources, such as inventory and ERP systems, can be imported via the ODBC interface and CSV files. The barcode software also supports SQL queries.
Ideal Barcode Software for POS, Terminals and Warehouses
In addition to bulk printing of multiple labels, our barcode software has a special mode that allows individual labels to be printed instantly by entering a key (e.g., a product code). Users can input data using either a keyboard or a barcode scanner.
This makes our barcode software ideal for common POS, warehouse or terminal operations where, for example, price tags or shelf labels need to be produced on demand.
Barcode Label API – Integration into Custom Software
With the Developer Edition, our barcode software provides a Label API to process print jobs via an XML interface. This allows the software to be easily integrated into ERP, inventory and other similar systems, entrusting label printing to specialized barcode software that is fully dedicated to this task.
Labels with Serial Numbers – As Barcode or Text
From simple serial numbers to complex alphanumeric series, our barcode software can print both as readable numbers or as barcodes on labels.
In addition to start and end values, the step size and number of repetitions can be specified. If you want all numbers in a series to have the same number of digits, the barcode software will automatically add leading zeros. Serial numbers can be generated in ascending or descending order.
Dynamic Graphics Integration
Our barcode software supports graphics that can vary between labels, allowing items such as price tags with product images or membership cards with photos. The graphics are loaded from disk before printing.
Static graphics are also supported so that the same company logo or safety symbol can be printed consistently on all labels.
Integrated PDF Function with Barcode Precision and CMYK
Conventional PDF printers typically prioritize a balance between precision and file size rather than maximum accuracy. In contrast, our barcode software has a built-in PDF feature that stores barcode coordinates to six decimal places for enhanced precision. The PDF files can be printed on laser or inkjet printers (e.g., in different locations) without loss of quality.
The barcode software also supports PDF storage in the CMYK color space, making it ideal for printing. Text is converted to curves, eliminating the need for fonts.
QR Code Templates – Built into the Software
Ready-to-use templates for QR Code applications such as vCard, Email, SMS, Phone, GeoLocation are already included in our barcode software. These templates can be freely customized and extended.
Standard-Compliant EAN Labels (EAN-13, EAN-8)
For printing labels with EAN barcodes, our barcode software includes the OCR-B font, recommended by the official specification for rendering the plain text line in EAN-13 (GTIN-13), EAN-8 (GTIN-8) and ISBN-13 barcode types. Examples of EAN-13 and EAN-8:
