BarTender Label Design Software

BarTender gives you total control over your label's appearance, including the type and size of text, bar codes and graphics. Place objects exactly where you want them and control rotation as precisely as 1 degree. You're limited only by your imagination.  Strict adherence to Microsoft's official user-interface guidelines, means if you've used just one other Windows program you're ready to start designing labels. With BarTender, a few quick mouse motions are all it takes to combine bar codes, text and graphics into professional quality labels. You can even encode RFID tags.

BarTender is available in four editions that address a wide range of features and user requirements: Enterprise Automation, Automation, Professional and Basic.
