Hi Gerard,

I had the exact need, a jewelry business that wanted bar codes on labels small enough to attach to rings etc. I ended up using Bar Code 2/5 Interleaved. It was the only one that would print small enough. I used a 6 digit code. I purchased the font from Elfring Fonts and they were very helpful in choosing the correct font for the application.

The printer is a Zebra barcode/label printer and they had small labels that you fold over a ring thus making a tag. On one side I print the product code and price, on the other I print the barcode.

Hope this helps,

Ken
