    Aye, if you've a barcode generator and the facilities and materials to hand to print and test, I'd suggest copying another barcode then using that as a test and checking it scans at your local supermarket.

    Easier these days with self-service tills - I did this about 8 years ago and just bothered the poor bastards in the corner shop downstairs.

    Generally, there's a balance between barcode size and finish complexity - the simpler and more contrasty the print, the smaller the barcode.
