For immediate release.

SAY GOODBYE TO FRUSTRATING BAR CODE FONTS -- BUILDING BAR CODES DIRECTLY INTO YOUR PACKAGE DESIGN IS A BREEZE WITH NEW BARCODE TOOLBOX PLUG-INS FOR ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR AND ADOBE ACROBAT.

New Adobe plug-in suite allows anyone to easily design bar codes into any package design, even add interactivity to your Acrobat print proofs -- digitally read and verify bar codes using your mouse as a scanner.

Los Angeles, CA (November 30, 2001) -- Graphic designers agree, the key to executing a wildly successful print job is to simplify the film process. Now you can be secure in the fact that one of the most critical graphic elements, the bar code, is created to industry specifications with ease.

Barcode Toolbox, the revolutionary bar code generator, and reader plug-in, designed to allow anyone to create many of the most widely used bar code symbols. Create bar codes for products sold in North America and Europe, product cartons, books, and magazines -- even ebooks.

Barcode Toolbox allows designers to provide print houses with accurate bar codes embedded into the design. The print house does not have to create separate bar code film to be stripped into the final film -- reduce costs -- increase accuracy -- reduce time to press!

“Why add additional costs to your package design by managing the time consuming task of purchasing or designing bar codes,” says Barcode Toolbox creator Frank Vyncke. “Even professional package designers hate ordering bar codes. Barcode Toolbox is the easy way to create professional bar codes. It's so easy it's almost cheating!”

“At Yin4Yang we are aware that verifying the quality of your barcodes in your digital files is also important,” continues Frank Vyncke, “so we added the unique feature that you can verify any barcode inside Adobe Acrobat.”

Barcode Toolbox is an Adobe Illustrator plug-in that allows you to enter company identification parameters and product information using a simple data entry screen. The dialog automatically converts the information into an accurate, industry-approved, quality bar code symbol. Also, read Barcode Toolbox symbols in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat Exchange. Verify bar code symbol accuracy and readability.

One of the first commercially available plug-ins, Barcode Toolbox now supports Adobe Illustrator version 10 and Macintosh OS X.

Pricing and Availability
The Barcode Toolbox Plug-in suite is immediately available worldwide at a street price of US $69.95 and purchase online through the Barcode Toolbox store at http://www.barcodetoolbox.com.
