Bulk Barcode Generator (illustrator Script)

Stop wasting time with online generators and low-res bitmaps. Generate hundreds of 100% vector, print-ready barcodes directly inside Adobe Illustrator in seconds.

Whether you are designing packaging, product labels, or inventory tags, this script allows you to import bulk data and instantly generate scannable, industry-standard barcodes on separate artboards.

Key Features

• 4 Industry Standards: Supports EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128, and Code 39.
• Bulk Processing: Paste a list of codes or Import a CSV file to generate hundreds of barcodes at once.
• 100% Vector Output: Creates native Illustrator paths (rectangles), ensuring your barcodes are infinitely scalable and sharp at any resolution.
• Print-Safe Color: Automatically generates bars in Pure Black (C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100) to prevent registration issues on the press.
• Auto-Validation & Checksums: The script validates your input and automatically calculates the correct Checksum digit for EAN-13 and UPC-A, protecting you from printing invalid codes.
• Smart Artboards: Automatically creates and resizes a separate artboard for every single barcode generated, laid out in a clean grid.
• Professional Typography: Uses standard OCR fonts (with fallback to Helvetica/Arial) and places text in the correct industry-standard layout (including split digits for EAN/UPC).
