Barcode verification is the best way to ensure scannability to ensure that your barcodes gets scan correctly the first time, every time. Poor quality barcodes can cost you time, productivity, and money. When it comes to barcode verification, it is helpful to have a barcode verifier to enable the verification process where it grades the 1D or 2D barcodes to its industry ISO standards set from GS1. Barcode verifiers analyze the barcode and assign a quality grade to them usually with letter between A through F, where A is the best and F is the worst. A barcode with a C or above is consider a passing code to be used. Verification helps confirm that a code will be read and accepted anywhere and by any reader. It ensure the readability along the supply chain, correct formation of data, and prints reports listing grades to certify industry standards to be met in order to prevent product rejection and possible fines. When purchasing a barcode verifier, here are a few key questions to answer:

• What type of barcodes do you need to verify? 1D or 2D?
• Are you verifying codes for internal or contract compliance use?
• How many barcodes needs to be verify daily?
• Will you need printed records?
• Will you need a traditional or ISO/ANSI verification?
