QuanTech LLC, BarcodeQuality.com provides the following services with trained experienced personnel and precision verification (inspection) equipment:

• Evaluate the dimensional (traditional) and optical/reflective (ANSI) characteristics of bar code images using state-of-the-art precision quality assurance measurement tools and verification devices. The Bar Code Doctor will communicate the quantitative data from the testing devices with an analysis presented in one of our easy-to-understand textual, statistical and graphical format reports, depending on your situation.
• Test and verify bar code images, certifying compliance with industry standards such as UPC, AIAG, UPN, ANSI standard (ANSI/UCC5, and later ISO/IEC 15416) ISO 15416, ANSI X3.182 Bar Code Print Quality guidelines and others, helping our clients avoid customer deductions, charge backs or price offsets due to poor quality or format issues.
