Magazine Bar
Codes
Most (if not all) newsstands and large retailers require a barcode that uses the bipad system. It is what their computers use to price, record sales, inventory, etc. a magazine. They will not accept the title without one.
There are two steps required for getting your code:
1. you must first get bipad number.
2. then you can get a bar code created that represents that number.
