    I’m not sure this is what you are asking but bar codes can be created in Corel X3.

    Cheers

    Needs to be on SAV but doesn’t need to be waterproof. If that helps.
    does anybody know of a company that could supply these in the ways you have mentioned?

    Hi Mathew,
    You’ll need to get acurate figures as to how many changes there are. When screen printing, each design will need its own screen – this does depend on how many run it is and how many up it is on a screen.

    Have pm’d you!

    Cheers John

    Make sure your bidirectional settings are right and print them on your printer. I’ve done them before and they all scanned fine.
