• Barcodes:  We have barcode vendors and are able to place barcode orders for clients at any time.  
  • Clients who wish to order their own barcode labels from a preferred commercial vendor should first contact us. 
  • We will request a proof sheet from the vendor so it can be test-scanned at the Depository before production.
  • No transfers will be accepted before a test scan. Clients procuring their own barcodes are responsible for ensuring the sequence integrity of the labels produced.
