Have you ever tried to search for free SSCC (UCC/EAN-128) barcodes generation services or programs? If yes - you should know there were NO free programs to create SSCC-18, postal code barcodes or shop code barcodes.

We’re happy to announce beta version of the completely free SSCC barcodes generation service. It’s very easy to use, just call it using URL like this:

http://custompcsoftware.com/sscc/sscc.php?sscc=[SYMBOL]&ai=[AI]

where SYMBOL is the SSCC code itself, AI is an application identifier (see here for full list).

Examples
1. Create SSCC-18 barcode:

http://custompcsoftware.com/sscc/sscc.php?sscc=00112233445566778899

2. Create ship to postal code barcode:

http://custompcsoftware.com/sscc/sscc.php?sscc=54720&ai=420

Contact us by leaving a comment here if you need to integrate this into your application (no matter what programming language it’s written on).

Hi! I’m just wondering if there is a tool you’d like to have for free or at little cost like UPC validator, ISBN10 to ISBN13 converter, bar code generator (e.g. SSCC-18)? Leave a comment - there is a big chance you’ll get your tool. For free.
