Introduction
If you can change fonts, you can create high-quality bar code symbols using Azalea Software's tools.

Create bar codes from within your favorite Windows applications: desktop publishing programs, databases, word processors, spreadsheets, camera-ready artwork, labels, forms, you name it.

Forget dedicated bar code packages.  Using Azalea Software's fonts, there's no esoteric, specialized software to use.


UPCTools
Create UPC, Bookland, EAN, and JAN bar codes using this collection of Type 1 fonts.  These are the symbols on everything destined for the retail channel.

Camera-ready artwork and labels can be done quickly and easily.  You control the bar width to compensate for ink spread on the printing press.  The fonts include the human-readable digits under the bars.

UPCTools is only US$149 and comes with complete instructions.


C39Tools
Create Code 39 bar codes using any Windows application.  Code 39 is the most popular bar code for inventory, ID, and tracking purposes.

C39Tools includes both TrueType and Type 1 fonts, and comes with sample code to show you how to call the fonts from within your own application.  The individual fonts differ in their wide bar to narrow bar ratio, as well as their overall height-to-width ratio.  An additional font is included for the optional human-readable characters.

C39Tools is only US$149 and is available directly from Azalea Software, Inc.


POSTools
Make the POSTNET bar codes used for ZIP codes, especially the new 11-digit Delivery Point Barcodes.  Anyone creating Business Reply Mail pieces or printing mailing lists needs POSTools.

Postal rate discounts are available for pre-bar coded mail.  With POSTools, you can apply POSTNET bar codes to individual envelopes, labels, or within your camera-ready artwork.

POSTools is just US$59 and comes with sample files to get you started, including information from the US Postal Service's Domestic Mail Manual.


I2of5Tools
I2of5Tools creates the Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes used by the shipping industry.  Choose from TrueType or Type 1 format.

This font package can be used to make labels or camera-ready artwork.  The symbols can be made with or without the bearer bars.  You have control over the bar width to compensate for ink spread on the printing press.

I2of5Tools is only US$99 and comes with complete instructions.


OCR-A/OCR-B
There are times when you need either OCR-A or OCR-B for specialized situations.  Both are used by graphic artists who want to create a high tech look in design pieces.

Azalea Software's OCR-A/OCR-B font package includes both optical character recognition fonts.  Choose from TrueType or Type 1 format.  These are the full 255 character sets.

Azalea Software's OCR-A/OCR-B font package is only US$99.
