Real Case Histories & Testimonials

The client is a supplier of diagnostic test kits for a specific medical condition.

They were concerned about GS1 Healthcare compliance in their number assignment to products, including sale units and shipping containers. Amazingly, they have never had a single, standardized item numbering system.

Real Case Histories & Testimonials

An East Coast healthcare company and their label printer were engaged in an argument about the reliability of their barcodes. The healthcare company said they were having problems scanning them; the label printer said the barcodes were fine. Both were using scanners (not verifiers).

Real Case Histories & Testimonials

A flexo printer was experiencing a mystery. They had a procedure in place which they had relied upon for years—and for years had no problems. Using a verifier, they tested the barcode files three times:

Over time, the results were solid and stable. However, when their old verifier was no longer supported by its manufacturer, they upgraded to a new ISO compliant one, and that’s when the apparent problems began.

Real Case Histories & Testimonials

A pharmaceutical company faced a crisis when their most important customer rejected a shipment batch, blaming label inaccuracy.

A barcoded wristband was placed on her wrist.

Real Case Histories & Testimonials

Most stories of bad barcodes and the importance of barcode verification follow a similar path: verify and prevent problems. But not all stories follow this pattern—it often is more interesting than that. Here is one such scenario. The names have been changed to protect identities and reputations.

Case Study: Print Gain Problems
A packaging designer specified a high-tech look for the rollout of a hot new electronics product. They created a box with black barcodes printed on a crisp white substrate. Visually the barcodes looked great but failed to scan.

Real Case Histories & Testimonials

A frazzled manager from a big box store emailed us with a request: could we test a few of their barcodes?  I frequent a local such store and see some pretty bad barcodes on products, so I figured it was one of those situations. After a brief conversation, the caller offered to send us samples.

Our company (an advanced software company) recently worked with Barcode Test to source a barcode verifier.  Not long ago, we were awarded a contract requiring products to be marked with IUIDs in accordance with MIL-STD-130.  For that standard, marking labels must pass a verification test that evaluates many variables (contrast, size, clarity, syntax, modularity, and more).

3db Barcode Testimonial

Our company (an advanced software company) recently worked with Barcode Test to source a barcode verifier.  Not long ago, we were awarded a contract requiring products to be marked with IUIDs in accordance with MIL-STD-130.  For that standard, marking labels must pass a verification test that evaluates many variables (contrast, size, clarity, syntax, modularity, and more).  After a thorough search, we reduced our options to a select few.

In our search for a verifier, the Axicon line caught our attention.  Barcode Test is our regional reseller for this product.   From the beginning, they were very prompt with their responses.  We ended up having a quick call with John Nachtrieb to go over our needs.  John was extremely easy to work with and provided a lot of great information.  He was very knowledgeable on the matter and was quick to offer up a demo unit (free of charge).

Upon receiving the demo verifier and testing it, a few questions arose.  John joined a call with us and answered all our questions.  Ultimately, the Axicon verifier wasn’t the best fit for us, so we shipped the demo back.  John was completely understanding.  A few weeks later, Barcode Test reached back out with another possible verifier for us to try.  While they didn’t sell that brand, they just wanted to help us find the best option that met our needs. They even offered to send us the unit that they have in-house to see if it worked to our liking. 

Barcode Test is truly a great company to work with.  Their service and willingness to help the customer are far beyond what you typically get from other companies.  They are experts in barcode quality assurance and seem willing to help in any way they can (even if that means not getting a sale and recommending another option that better fits the customer’s needs).  If anyone is in the market for barcode verification/scanning services or products, I would highly recommend giving Barcode Test a call.
