Sleeve printers / barcodes

therealme · 2013-11-09 11:53:42

Hi, I'm starting a very small artisan food business. Where are the best places to get sleeves printed (to cover small containers)?? Also was told to try GS1 for a barcode...anywhere else similar but cheaper?? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Graham, it wont let me open the first two links.

It seems that GS1 is the best way to go but it is very expensive considering how much I have already invested and still have to invest.

I am only trying out the product for 6-8 weeks to see if it will work - it's a huge gamble but hopefully will work!!
