Barcodes for Data Merge

The only InDesign barcode system that lets you generate barcodes directly from variable-data

  • Use zero, one or more variable data (Data Merge) variables
  • InDesign's Data Merge, DesignMerge, InData, others: works with virtually all variable-data systems
  • Or, manually enter data
  • NO barcode fonts
  • No macros, no scripting, no barcode image files
  • 1-step process, all within InDesign
  • Vector quality, crisp and scannable
  • 1D, 2D, GS1 and Postal barcodes, no extra charge
  • CMYK process colors, many other essential features for professional workflows
  • $149 one-time, not a subscription

Works great with Data Merge and most other. Works great with Data Merge and most others. Chartbot Barcodes fixes the limitations of traditional barcode systems, generates a full range of barcode types and works with virtually all variable-data systems, including InDesign's built-in Data Merge feature. Even users of product-specific barcode modules can add Chartbot Barcodes to their existing layouts to support new barcode types, process colors, and take advantage of other options.

Use any combination of zero, one or more variables, with manually-entered text optionally mixed in.

Great non-variable barcodes, too. It produces virtually any barcode you'll need in vector quality.

No barcode fonts. Barcode fonts can be so painful! Chartbot needs no fooling with your data. No need to switch out fonts when resizing barcodes.

No macros, no scripting. Unlike fonts, there's no need to reformat your database, run Excel macros, compute checksums, or do other data processing. For most all barcode types, Chartbot Barcodes automatically takes care of encoding, checksumming and resizing.

No barcode image files! 1-Step barcode workflow. Barcodes are generated and Placed in a single step. All within InDesign. Even for Data Merge. There's no error-prone need to create barcodes in another app, then Data Merge them as pictures in a second step.

Vector quality and Production features. Automatic sizing to fit data. Automatic size tweaking to match printer resolution. Many other pro features.
