BAR-CODES GUIDELINES

A barcode is not essential, but many shops now expect them, so it is best to make the effort to have your artwork designed to incorporate a barcode from the outset. If your designer is unable to get you a barcode, check with your pressing plant, or ask us to supply one. It is best to keep the barcode full-size or as close as. Ensuring you also leave appropriate space on the cover for shops to place their price stickers without covering track listings or barcode.
