Bearer Bars
Bearer bars are lines that can be added to frame your barcode. Your
options are
None,
Top and Bottom
and
Top, Bottom and Sides.
Bearer bars must be included in horizontal form for codes printed on
labels, and as a full box (with H gauges) when printed directly on
corrugated surfaces.
Bearer bars were introduced to prevent barcode distortion when
flexible rubber stamps are used to print barcodes onto cardboard
boxes. Adding lines all around the barcode stamp or just on the top
and sides of the stamp provides additional stability so the stamp did
not bend as the box was being stamped.
