Subject: Bar Code Information
r--SALS Members,
As per your request at the 4/8/92.> SALS meetin9, I have compiled the
following information ....
1. The number o·f characters that can appear across the top of c.t bar
code label to indicated an institutional name i.s 40 characters. This count should include .space:::;.
2. The cost for bar code labels is as follows:
1~. pair of labels is defined as 2 labels which are exac:tly <c~like. Tl·'ieY
may be printed either horizontally or vertically in relationship to
each othet~. The prices listed below at~e fot·-· SINr3LES .... However, if
you want a pair of identical labels just double the number. Confused?
For lf:.~xample 5, 000 pair-·s is. actually 10, 000 lable:::. so the cost
listed below would be $31.25 x 10 for 5, 000 label pairs.
5,000 sin:;?Jles (to be used in pairs) - $31.25 per 1000
28, 000 singes (to t•e used in pairs) - $26. 17 per 1000
100,000 singles (to be used in pait-·s) -· $20.83 per 1000
The minimum invoice amount is $250.00
First pt~oof to put·~chase ot~der specification - NO CHARGE
Customer specification changes $165. 00 (i.e. if you chc~nge your mind
•'=1ftet·-· app;·~oving the pr~oof but befon~ p;~·inting)
Jobs cancellation $250.00 minimum.
