What is Material Bank's Barcode Process?

Instructions on how to barcode samples

Updated over a month ago

Barcoding ensures your samples are received and processed accurately at Material Bank’s Logistics Hub.

You can choose one of two options for creating barcodes:


Option 1: Material Bank applies barcodes

Our team can generate and apply barcodes to your samples for a small fee.

Note: These barcodes do not include sample-level details such as product name or description.


Option 2: Provide your own barcodes

If you prefer to create your own barcodes, you can apply them to your samples before shipment.

Requirements

  • Minimum barcode size: 8 × 25 mm

  • Barcodes must be scannable upon arrival

Tools

We recommend professional tools like BarTender, or you can use free generators such as:


Before you ship

Once your barcode labels are ready:

  1. Export your barcode file as a PDF

  2. Share the file with our team for validation

  3. Our team will confirm that barcodes are scannable before you proceed with printing
