The barcode, generally called the Universal Product Code, has been in use in America since the 1970s. There are several patterns of codes including dots, concentric circles, and hidden images. As barcodes are very useful in tracking inventory and identifying legitimate record labels, it has become a vital tool in all organizations and firms.

One can obtain barcodes free of cost. Many types of barcode fonts are available on the market, and many of these barcode fonts can be owned without paying a single penny. Free barcodes are a great relief for many small businesses unable to buy the costly barcodes.

Many companies are providing free barcode fonts through online services. One can easily download these fonts and use them conveniently. These free sample fonts are used to print letters, numbers, and some symbols. Graphics are also used for the creation of barcodes. Individuals and organizations with gross annual revenues of less than $500,000 can use the free barcode fonts. Many educational organizations such as schools and universities also use the free barcodes. But in the case of freeware, choice is limited. The common free barcode font available is the Code 39 TrueType format, which is also known as the 3 of 9. Some free barcodes, which come without the fonts, are graphic images. For these, there is no need for installation and configuration of plug-ins.

Many modern businesses offer barcode image generators as free software. Most of these user-friendly software packages help in creating barcode image files in a range of formats. There are many software packages that offer barcode generators. These barcode generators can be downloaded from the Internet as freeware. Some firms give options for online generation of barcodes.
