Withdrawal of old style barcode
The old style barcode (CBC) option will no longer be available after 31 December 2017. This is something we consulted about in 2015 and announced in 2016. We strongly recommend the new style barcode (Mailmark) but the OCR option is also worth considering. Both these options are priced below the old style barcode and customers moving to them will see prices decrease.
Customers attempting to use the old style barcode from January 2018 will find the product codes can no longer be used to raise a sales order in their Online Business Account (OBA).
