Barcode orders are generally filled within 10 business days and are shipped directly to the ordering library. An invoice from NHAIS Services for the full cost of your order will be sent under separate cover.

The available barcodes are codabar 14-digit barcodes printed on a matte laminate finish label (specifically a 3.7 mil top-coasted litho archival quality paper with 1 mil matte polypropylene laminate and 2 mil permanent acid-free acrylic adhesive) measuring 2" wide by 5/8" high. They are available in quantities of 1000 with a MINIMUM order of 10,000 labels.

Duplicates (2 of the same number) or singles are available with or without overprinting. Overprinting is text that appears above the barcode and it may include a MAXIMUM of 25 alphanumeric characters (including spaces). When ordering duplicate barcodes you may use different overprinting on each set of the duplicated labels.
