Serialization with BarTender
Create sequential, unique identifiers and automate serial number management directly within your BarTender label designs.
Make Every Label Unique
BarTender makes it easy to automatically increment or decrement serial numbers as labels are printed. Serialization can be configured for individual printers or across networked printing environments, helping businesses maintain consistent and controlled identification throughout their labeling processes.
Serialization refers to assigning a unique identification code to each item in a series. These identifiers can contain letters, numbers, or symbols and can be configured to change based on printing events, data changes, print quantities, or other defined conditions.
Flexible Serialization Controls
In BarTender, serialization is configured through the data source settings of a template object. You can choose whether values increment or decrement, establish starting values, preserve character lengths, define event intervals, and determine when the sequence should reset.
Serialization can also be configured to reset after a specific event or when a defined condition is reached. This gives you control over how numbering sequences behave from one print job to the next and helps keep serialized labels organized across production and operational workflows.
